Crispy fried wonton bites filled with a creamy, spicy mixture of cream cheese, jalapeño, and cheddar cheese. Perfect for a snack or appetizer, served optionally with hot honey.
1. In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, jalapeño, and cheddar until smooth and evenly combined.
2. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of filling into the center of a wonton skin. Bring all four corners up to meet, then firmly press to seal above the filling, creating a small pouch.
3. Heat 2 to 3 inches of peanut oil in a heavy pot to 350F. Fry the wontons in batches for 2 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
4. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and season lightly with salt.
5. Serve warm with hot honey for dipping, if desired, and enjoy!
