Crazy Delicious Wonton Appetizer Recipe

Make sure to look at the pictures below! And check out the variation I added recently for another option. :)

8 ounces of brie cheese-- cut into cubes a little bigger than dice-sized — you'll need all of the cheese, just basically cut it so you have 24 pieces about the same size
4 ounces mango chutney like this one-- I just used half of an 8-ounce jar — just see what your store has, if it's a different type of chutney or fruit jam it'll still be good, but just make sure it doesn't have any junky ingredients in it (get a copy of my book for help with that!)
1-2 jalapeño peppers, again, diced small (or more if you want it to have more of a kick)
1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice-- Nancy used crispy pecans, I used pistachios this time

1.5 bricks of cream cheese, softened (12 ounces total), I use organic
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
2 medium sized jalapeño peppers, diced small (or more if you want it to have more of a kick)
About 3 green onions, chopped, or more for more flavor
1 cup or more dried organic cherries or cranberries
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Optional: chopped bacon!
1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice, I like to use pistachios

Preheat oven to 400*. Place 24 wonton wrappers in your mini muffin pan. Just tuck the sides a bit so they sit down in there, they don't have to be perfect.
Prebake the wontons for 7 minutes, watch them in case your oven is hotter than mine.

Next add the cube of brie cheese in the bottom, and then add a small dollop of mango chutney, about 3/4 teaspoon. Too much and it's too sweet, not enough and the flavor isn't as tasty. Now sprinkle the jalepenos on evenly. Use more if you like a little more kick. Divide the nuts evenly between the 24 cups.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 8 minutes or until filling is hot. If all of the wontons are not golden brown and crispy, uncover and bake a little longer. You may need to put pieces of foil on any areas that are done more than others. Again, watch closely so they don't burn.

Mix the filling ingredients together (all except the nuts), and put about 2 Tablespoons in each cup, going back to add more if you have some left. Sprinkle nuts on the top.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 8 minutes or until filling is hot. If all of the wontons are not golden brown and crispy, uncover and bake a little longer. You may need to put pieces of foil on any areas that are done more than others. Again, watch closely so they don't burn.
