Really good!!! Took me about 45 minutes start to finish. I used my food processor to chop artichokes, then blend everything. I used artichoke hearts instead of quarters.

the cups didn't crisp as much as i was hoping but that might be because i drizzled the muffin tins in olive oil instead of coating the wontons with cooking spray, which i will do next time, possibly on both sides. very versatile recipe though, could use a little pepper imo. would be good with spinach to cut the richness i think. i may use this filled with my spinach artichoke dip
update:
the wontons crisp much better when sprayed/brushed lightly with oil on both sides, just be careful not to over grease. this time i went very simple with marinated artichokes, light cream cheese, a little light parmesan, and a bit of feta in a blender. much lighter and less greasy then the mozza and mayo and the marinated type have much more flavor then the canned

These are great (and super easy) appetizers! I added some sauteed spinach and they were like little personal spinach-artichoke dip bites and also added a few dashes of hot sauce to the mix. So so so good!
