Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most heavenly midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds dance – the Crispy Cream Cheese Wontons with Sweet Chili Drizzle! 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 😉).
Let’s get real – we’ve all been there, tossing and turning at night, craving something crispy, creamy, and absolutely divine. Well, honey, I’ve got you covered with this local favorite that’s been passed down through generations of late-night snackers.
What You’ll Need:
– Wonton wrappers (found in most Asian grocery stores)
– 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
– 2 cloves minced garlic
– 2 green onions, finely chopped
– 1 tbsp soy sauce
– Oil for frying
– Sweet chili sauce for drizzling
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Mix that cream cheese until it’s smooth as silk. Add in your garlic, green onions, and soy sauce. Give it a good stir until everything’s well combined.
1. Grab your wonton wrappers and place about a teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each wrapper. Don’t get too excited and overfill them – trust me, I learned that the hard way!
1. Wet the edges with water and fold into triangles, pressing out any air bubbles. Seal those edges like you’re keeping a juicy secret!

1. Heat your oil to 350°F (medium-high heat). If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of wonton wrapper in – if it sizzles and floats, you’re good to go!
1. Fry these babies in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
1. Now for the finale – drizzle that sweet chili sauce over these crispy pockets of joy. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some extra chopped green onions on top.
And voilà! You’ve just made the most addictive midnight snack ever. The contrast between the crispy exterior and creamy filling is absolutely _chef’s kiss_. Plus, that sweet chili sauce adds just the right amount of kick.
Can we talk about how perfect these are for those late-night cravings? They’re quick, easy, and so satisfying that you might need to hide some from your family (I won’t judge!).
