"It seems that we always have extra wonton wrappers after cooking an Asian themed meal. Looking for something to do with the extras I came up with this. It turned out great! This is a easy appetizer (we had it as a dinner) recipe. This was also a BIG hit with the kiddos which makes it even better. Give them a try."
