tom's deep-fried snackin' wontons

This recipe features Tom’s Deep-Fried Snackin’ Wontons. He uses an electric fryer. We have a relatively small deep fryer and it’s a Cuisinart (of course!). It’s Model CDF100 and currently sells at Home Depot for less than $40.00. I’m going to share with you his cream cheese and M&M’s deep-fried wontons here. But please keep in mind that he makes his “snackin’” wontons a lot of different ways - with Snickers, Butterfingers, Cinnamon & Sugar, and lots of other sweet delicious things - the list goes on! Once they are cooled, he smothers the fried wontons in chocolate sauce and then sprinkles them with powdered sugar. They are so darn delicious!!

INGREDIENTS
Wontons - we use Nasoya Won Ton Wraps - small square wheat flour
Soft (spreadable) cream cheese
Small M&M’s (or sweet filling of your choice)
Chocolate sauce  - we use Hershey’s Syrup (for Ice Cream)
