Peanut Butter and Chocolate Wontons

I don't think anyone will miss the fortune cookies when you serve these as the ending to your Chinese dinner.  They are light, crispy, and delicious.  The whole time I was eating them I was wishing I had some vanilla ice cream to dip them in.  Next time I make them I will definitely serve them with a scoop of ice cream, but I love ice cream.  These were actually not very difficult to make, just a little time consuming. 

I used store bought wonton wrappers.  First lay out the number of wrappers you want to fill.

Drop about 1 tsp of peanut butter into the center of each of the wonton wrapper.

Then cut a bar a milk chocolate into small pieces.  Put one piece of chocolate on top of the peanut butter on each wrapper.

Folding them is by far the most time consuming part if making these wontons.  To fold them you need a small bowl of water and a pastry brush or you can use your finger.  I just use my finger.  Dip the brush or your finger into the bowl of water.  Then wet the egde of the wonton wrapper.  Then fold two edges together.  Then fold the other two edges together.  It is very important that they are sealed completely.  When all the wontons are folded. Heat a wok filled about 2-3 inches of peanut oil over a medium flame.  The oil should be at 350 degrees.

Then fry until they start to turn golden brown.  Drain on a paper towel lined plate.  Dust with powdered sugar before serving. 

Just a word of caution:  The filling will be extremely hot.  Avoid the temptation to taste for about 3-5 minutes.

These are best eaten while warm.
