The first time I had a cream cheese wonton was at Panda Express and I fell immediately in love with those crunchy, creamy treats. Recreating them was a cinch and now I am excited I get to share the recipe with you! I serve my cream cheese wontons with a homemade sweet and spicy dipping sauce. These wontons make an excellent appetizer for the family or for a party. They also work great as a side dish!
