Jaden Hair Says: This is a type of dessert that will make little girls giggle and squeal with delight and little boys get down with a little disco dance. My kids will pout if I don’t save a few wrappers after I make wontons so that they can make a batch of these warm, gooey Chocolate Wontons for dessert. It’s so easy, too. Just add a chunk of your favorite chocolate to the middle, seal and fry. Don’t be too greedy, though. A small piece of chocolate for each wonton is fine. If the chocolate nugget is too big, the wonton won’t seal properly and the chocolate oozes out when frying. No chocolate = no happy kids.
Chocolate Wontons
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
12 wonton wrappers, defrosted (keep wrappers covered with damp towel)
12 pieces or nuggets of chocolate
Vegetable oil Confectioners’ sugar, for sprinkling
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. On a clean, dry surface, lay one wrapper down with a point toward you, like a diamond. Place one piece of chocolate near the top end of the wrapper. Brush a very thin layer of the egg wash on the edges of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up to create a triangle and gently press to remove all air from the middle. Press the edges to adhere the sides. Make sure the wrapper is sealed completely. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and chocolate pieces. Keep the folded chocolate wontons covered under plastic wrap or a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying. In a wok or medium pot, pour in two inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350°F (180°C) and gently slide a few of the chocolate wontons into the hot oil. Make sure you don’t crowd the chocolate wontons too much. Fry 1 1/2 minutes, then flip and fry another minute until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
