Late-Night Jalapeño Popper Wontons That Will Make You Forget Your Diet Plans 🔥

Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine midnight snack that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM! I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my late-night cravings, and honey, it’s been a game-changer ever since. Say hello to Crispy Cream Cheese-Stuffed Jalapeño Wontons! 🔥

These little pockets of heaven combine the perfect amount of heat, creamy goodness, and that irresistible crunch we all crave when the midnight munchies hit. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later!

Here’s what you’ll need:
– Wonton wrappers (the ones in the produce section)
– 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature, please!)
– 4-5 jalapeños, finely diced (remove seeds if you’re not about that spicy life)
– 2 cloves minced garlic
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Ranch dressing for dipping (because, duh!)

Okay queens, let’s get cooking! 👩‍🍳

1. Mix that softened cream cheese with the diced jalapeños, garlic, and cheddar. Season it with salt and pepper. Give it a taste – just try not to eat it all before stuffing! (I’ve been guilty of this, no judgment!)

1. Lay out your wonton wrappers and place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each one. Don’t get too generous – nobody likes a messy wonton!

1. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal. Make sure there are no air pockets, or you’ll have a hot oil situation on your hands!

1. Heat your oil to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of wrapper in – it should sizzle and float immediately)

1. Fry those babies in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Don’t overcrowd the pan – these wontons need their personal space, just like we do! 😉

1. Drain on paper towels and let them cool slightly. I know it’s tempting, but trust me, burning your tongue at midnight is NOT cute!

Serve these bad boys with ranch dressing, and watch them disappear faster than your ex’s texts! They’re crispy on the outside, creamy and spicy on the inside – literally everything you could want in a midnight snack.

Pro tip: Make extra and freeze them before frying. Future you will be so grateful when those late-night cravings hit!
