Parmesan Garlic Wonton Crackers

So simple yet such a wow recipe. I had like six wonton wrappers leftover and I couldn't let them go to waste so I decided to turn them into parmesan garlic crackers. I had no idea they'd turn out this crisp and flavorful. Forget Cheez-its. Forget Wheat Thins. These little things are so much better. Eric was blown away by these crackers and it's been a while since I've blown him away with a recipe.

Ingredients:
Wonton wrappers
Parmesan cheese, grated
Garlic salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Cut wontons in half diagonally and arrange on the cookie sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with parmesan and garlic salt. Lightly press the cheese and seasoning into the wrapper.

Bake for 4 to 6 minutes or until the crackers are crisp and the edges are slightly browned.

Enjoy!

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Banana Wontons

Chocolate, peanut butter, and bananas, I don't know why, but these three ingredients always taste so good together, comforting some how. I was originally just going to make chocolate banana wontons, but then I saw the peanut butter in the cupboard--how could I resist?

Ingredients:
16 wontons
1/4 cup chocolate chips*
8 teaspoons peanut butter
1 small ripe banana cut into 16 slices
powdered sugar, optional

*Like the smores wonton I made earlier, I made these with chocolate chips, but U had problems with the chips puncturing the wonton. I think bar chocolate like a Hershey candy bar will work better. I haven't made these with bar chocolate yet, but I'm guessing you could just break the bars in half and that would be plenty of chocolate for the wonton. (Hershey bars come with 12 bars so you'd need 8 bars broken in half).

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.** Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.

Place 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of the wonton. Add 1 banana slice on top of the peanut butter. Place 6 to 8 chocolate chips around the banana. 

Wet all four edges of the wontons with water (I used my finger, but you could also use a pastry brush) and fold over diagonally, pressing the edges together to seal.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the wontons turn a golden brown.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar. (This was Eric's idea and it did improve them.)

**You can also deep fry these if you so desire.

Enjoy!

Smores Wontons

Smores aren't just a campfire treat. You can re-imagine this dessert in so many different ways (smores pies, smores banana boats, smores cookies!) With a package of wontons in the fridge, chocolate chips in the cupboard and some leftover marshmallow fluff, these smores wonton were inevitable.

Ingredients:
16 wontons
8 teaspoons marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup chocolate chips*

*I made these with chocolate chips, but I do recommend using bar chocolate like a Hershey candy bar just because I had problems with the chips puncturing the wonton. I haven't made these yet, but I'm guessing you could just break the bars in half and that'd be plenty of chocolate for the wonton. (Hershey bars come with 12 bars so you'd need 8 bars broken in half).

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.** Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.

Place a scant teaspoon of marshmallow fluff in the center of each wonton. DO NOT use mini marshmallows. I tried this too. They just disappear. Add 6 to 8 chips to each wonton.

Wet all four edges of the wontons with water (I used my finger but you could also use a pastry brush) and fold over, pressing the edges together to seal.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the wontons turn a golden brown.

**You can also deep fry these if you so desire.

Enjoy!

Jalapeno Popper Wontons

I think it was about a year ago that I first started playing with wonton wrappers. They are just so convenient when making both savory and sweet snacks or appetizers. When I decided that I wanted to make jalapeno poppers at home, my first thought was to turn to wonton wrappers. And it was a good thought. I could not stop eating them. Thankfully Eric had been putting off lunch so he could indulge in these little bundles of deliciousness and consumed most of them. I also made chocolate-peanut butter-banana wontons and smores wontons.

Ingredients:
16 wontons
4 ounces cream cheese, soften
1/4 cup cheddar, shredded
2 jalapenos, finely chopped

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.* Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray

In a bowl mix, mix together cream cheese, cheddar, and jalapenos. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture into the center of the wonton. Wet all four edges of the wonton and bring the four corners together in the center of the wonton and press the seams together to seal. Place on the cookie sheet and repeat with the rest of the wonton wrappers.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until they turn a golden brown.

*You can also deep fry these. Eric is always after me to fry my wonton creations. He loves everything fried. I, on the other hand, try to stay away from fried foods and love that these can be baked.

Eric also suggested sprinkling parmesan cheese on top of them. I thought about adding crumbled bacon to the inside. Just some ideas to play with.

Enjoy!

Chocolate-Hazelnut Ravioli

I've already shared the homemade pizza roll and cream cheese rangoon recipes with you. Finally, here is the dessert appetizer, the chocolate-hazelnut ravioli. I would tell you that these were my favorite, but all these wonton appetizers were so good, I couldn't choose a favorite.

The chocolate-hazelnut ravioli recipe is an adaption of Giada Laurentiis's chocolate-hazelnut ravioli.

Ingredients:
16 wonton wrappers
1/3 cup homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread or Nutella
cooking spray
water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with the cooking spray and set aside.

Place about a teaspoon of the chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of the wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water, fold the wrapper over diagonally, and press the edges together to seal. Place on the cookie sheet and repeat with the rest of the wontons.

Spray the tops of the ravioli with cooking spray and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the ravioli begin to turn a golden brown.

Allow to cool and enjoy!
