For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cream cheese mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, use fresh jalapeños, finely diced, instead of canned. Remember to wear gloves when handling fresh peppers! To ensure the wontons are sealed properly, avoid overfilling them with the cream cheese mixture. A little goes a long way! These wontons can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen for longer storage. If frozen, fry them directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time. Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your liking. You can also experiment with other dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, sour cream, or guacamole. Serve as an appetizer, snack, or party food. They are best enjoyed immediately while hot and crispy!
