Fortune Cookie? Try Nutella Wonton.

What is the perfect end note to a Chinese food meal?

If you're old school and ordering take-out, its usually fortune cookies (that may or may not be stale).

But, with some simple steps you can have a nice twist on a Chinese favorite: the wonton
.


My favorite treat from delivery places like China Garden or Eastern Cafe is a crab wonton (sometimes call rangoon) which is essentially a deep fried concoction of crab meat and cream cheese. This is NOT a low-fat dish, but it's well worth the calories and the hour you'll spend at the gym the next day.

The dessert version is the same concept: Nutella Wontons

**NOTE: Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread that's from Europe but can be found in any grocery store. The French typically spread it on croissants for a chocolatey breakfast.**

1. Take some wonton wrappers (also can be found in any grocery store, in the Asian aisle), the number depends on how many individual wontons you want.
   
2. 1 tbsp of Nutella spread, plop smack dab in the middle of the wonton. Seal edges with water, form into triangles.
   
3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, fill with 4 tbsp of vegetable oil (NOT BUTTER! Butter burns too fast)
4. Drop 1-2 wontons in hot oil, fry for 3-4 minutes.
5. COOL COMPLETELY and enjoy!
   

Psst! For an extra treat, sprinkle powdered sugar on top to give these a little more sweetness.
