Chocolate Wontons are a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of rich chocolate and crispy wonton wrappers. These decadent treats are perfect for chocolate lovers and can be enjoyed on their own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. With a preparation time of just 30 minutes, you can easily whip up a batch of these mouthwatering delights for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into the center of the wrapper.
  3. Using your finger or a pastry brush, lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.
  4. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and chocolate mixture.
  5. In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Working in batches, carefully place the wontons in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Dust the chocolate wontons with powdered sugar and serve warm.
