      Exactly what I was thinking! I used to get Crab Puffs from a restaurant years ago!

  • Kristina

    I just have to ask…what’s the coconut oil in the picture for?

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      It is the oil I used to cook the wontons in

  • toni

    Oh, I love these,,, try Salmon Cream cheese with a little Dill. Or any fruit flavored cream cheese and you can add a chunk of fruit! Dip in Chocolate too! Sundried tomato with basil… So many yummy things! 🙂

  • Sherise

    Can these be baked instead of fried? I dont fry food maybe a sautee here and there, but these look and sound AWESOME and I love the idea about using fruit!! a MUST TRY!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I love the idea – I am sure they can be baked

      • Heather Reid

        That’s what I do. I ALWAYS bake mine. I give them a little spritz of cooking spray and pop them in a 350 F oven until brown. The cooking spray helps them crisp up nicely. My family LOVES cream cheese won tons and I love that I can bake them and save some of the calories so I can have a couple extra ;).

    1 8oz pkg cream cheese/1 tsp garlic salt /1/2 tsp lemon juice…combine add crab meat and combine…and you have crab rangoon…Ive made them for years and we will have them tonight with Chicken LoMein…delish ~

    • Kelly

      Thanks! I usually buy those prepackaged ones at the commissary, and they’re over $2.00 for a 6 pack! I think these will be way better!

  • Laura S.

    Can these be made ahead of time and reheated? (Or room temp?)

  • Annie

    Flash freeze on a cookie sheet. They wont stick together. After frozen, they can be bagged and frozen for later use. I have done this for years.

  • Lori

    I have been craving Chinese for along while now. So I decided to make a full dinner of take-out fake-outs tonight. This just made the list. I found a recipe for homemade wonton wrappers too so I don’t have to go to the store for anything. I am going to try baking them instead of frying them. Thank you again for another great DIY recipe.

  • Stephanie

    I just recently found this website, and want to say I love this recipe and also also enjoy the posts as well with twists on the original recipe because I enjoy having multiple uses out of on recipe.

    • Watson

      You are very sweet – thank you for the feedback 🙂

  • Josephine

    I’m so making these!!! :O I LOVE their cream cheese wantons! I bet it would be cheaper to make them yourself then to buy them. I am addicted to these so I need to make them.

  • theresa

  • trina

    do you know how this recipe would turn out if I substituted the wonton wrapper for rice paper wrappers for a gluten free option?
