I made these one night for some ladies coming over for Book Club. I made them on a whim, because I had all the ingredients, and it sounded fun and different. They were a HUGE hit!
won-ton wrappers
fillings (so many options: cream cheese w/strawberry jam, Nutella & banana, etc.)
vegetable oil - for frying
Lay down some won-ton squares and pop some filling into them.
Here's where you use your creativity - you can use a spoonful of Nutella with a banana, a little peanut butter and a few chocolate chips, a slice of banana and some cinnamon sugar, etc. I took a big scoop of cream cheese and microwaved it until it was easy to stir. I added a couple spoonfuls of powdered sugar and a few drops of almond extract. In each wonton I put in about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and a little dollop of raspberry jam. (I also made some Nutella/banana ones. Amazing.)
To seal, dip your finger in water and brush it along all 4 edges of the wonton skin. Place the top piece on and press firmly to seal.
Fry in a pan with vegetable oil according to package directions. It’s usually about 375 degrees. You can test it by dipping the edge of the wonton in and seeing if it bubbles up quickly. After they are golden brown (it just takes a few seconds on each side) remove from oil, letting the excess drip off into the pan, and then immediately place in a bowl of cinnamon sugar and coat on all sides.
