Sweet Cream Cheese Wontons

Crispy Wontons fried or baked to golden perfection and filled with a sweet, two-ingredient cream cheese filling. Friends, I’ve had a revelation. And THAT, is that SWEET cream cheese inside of a crunchy, golden wonton, equals heaven. Do you ever have the weirdest most random cravings after getting sick? Like once you’re healthy again? I got a stubborn little stomach bug last week and afterwards, my appetite was like WHOA. And I wanted fried wontons. I’m not talking Crab Rangoon though, that’s altogether different. This stuff has a simple, sweet filling that’s just to die for.
