Late-Night Cream Cheese Wontons That’ll Make You Forget About Your Diet 🥟

Hey there, fellow midnight snackers! 👋 Let me tell you about my absolute favorite guilty pleasure that I whip up when those late-night cravings hit – the Crispy Cream Cheese Wontons with Sweet Chili Sauce. Y’all, this isn’t your regular midnight snack; this is what dreams are made of!

Trust me, once you try these bad boys, you’ll be sneaking to the kitchen at midnight more often than you’d like to admit (don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone! 😉).

What You’ll Need:
– Wonton wrappers (found in most grocery stores)
– 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– A pinch of salt and pepper
– Sweet chili sauce for dipping
– Vegetable oil for frying

Now, let’s get cooking, gorgeous!

First, let that cream cheese soften – nobody’s got time to fight with cold cream cheese at midnight, am I right? Mix it with those finely chopped green onions (I sometimes sneak in extra because I’m rebellious like that), minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper.

Now, here’s where the magic happens. Take those wonton wrappers and place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Don’t get too excited and overfill them – trust me, I learned that lesson the hard way! Wet the edges with water, fold them into triangles, and press to seal. Give those edges an extra pinch – we don’t want any cream cheese escapees!

Heat your oil to 350°F (or if you’re like me and don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of wonton wrapper in – if it sizzles and floats, you’re good to go!). Fry these babies until they’re golden brown, about 1-2 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels and try not to burn your tongue because I know you’ll want to dive right in!

Serve them hot with sweet chili sauce, and watch them disappear faster than your New Year’s resolutions! 🤭

Y’all, these are seriously addictive – I’ve had friends literally beg me for the recipe at 2 AM! They’re crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and that sweet chili sauce? _chef’s kiss_
