CREAM CHEESE WONTONS



Cream Cheese Wontons image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 24 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
1 teaspoon vinegar or rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce (more to taste)
2 green onions, light green and dark green parts, chopped
1 egg
24 wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Mix together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
  • For the wontons: In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand), mix together the cream cheese, Sriracha and green onions until totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary). In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 1/2 cup water.
  • One at a time, assemble the wontons: Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on one corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your finger to "paint" the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the 2 ends and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying out.
  • Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers just under 350 degrees F. (You don't want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.)
  • In batches of 4 or 5 at a time, fry the wontons for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them when you think they still could stand to slightly brown a teeny bit more (because they will slightly brown in the seconds after you remove them from the pan!). Drain the wontons on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batches.
  • It's best to wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. Serve with the dipping sauce.

OREO BONBONS



Oreo Bonbons image

I often make these treats for holiday parties and there are never enough. My family is always sorely disappointed if I don't bring these treats for Christmas.

Provided by Audmkamp

Categories     Candy

Time 2h

Yield 24-36 bonbons

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (20 ounce) package Oreo cookies
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese or 1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
12 -24 ounces white chocolate chips
shortening (optional) or Crisco (optional)
candy sprinkles

Steps:

  • Crush whole oreos into a fine, crumbly powder. A food processor works best, but can also be done in a zip bag with a rolling pin.
  • Throughly mix cream cheese into oreo crumbs. Mixture will be very thick and sticky.
  • Chill until cold in refrigerator.
  • Roll dough into balls about the diameter of a quarter.
  • Chill again in freezer.
  • Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or small crock pot for dipping.
  • Remove a few balls at a time from the freezer and dip one at a time into the melted chocolate. This can be done using a toothpick inserted in the center, or I like to use two kabob skewers and use them to lift the balls out of the chocolate. Place on a wax paper covered baking sheet. Dipping is easiest if balls are cold.
  • Top with sprinkles appropriate for the holiday or occasion soon after dipping, and before chocolate hardens.
  • These are best eaten cold or frozen, so store in refrigerator or freezer.
  • Note: My experience has been that some brands of chocolate tend to get too stiff for dipping after awhile. To remedy this add a small amount (approx 1/2 tsp at a time) of shortening to the melted chocolate. Repeat as needed to keep chocolate smooth. Do not use margarine, butter, milk, or water as they could ruin the chocolate and make it curdle.

BUTTERCREAM BONBONS



Buttercream Bonbons image

I got this recipe from the Land O'Lakes website many years ago, and they have been part of my annual Christmas baking for many, many years now. I really love these for many reasons. First, they're very tasty. Also, they are simple to make as candy goes. The key to dipping them in the chocolate is being sure the bonbon candies are fully chilled (or they'll start to melt in the hot chocolate, making it difficult to retain their shape). But it's also quite a versatile recipe. I've replaced the standard vanilla extract with other flavors to come up with different flavored bon bons. If you want, you can even add finely chopped nuts. The possiblities are endless. Cooking time is actually the minimum necessary chilling time.

Categories     Candy

Time 4h

Yield 60 Bon Bons

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or almond or orange or rum or cherry extract)
4 cups powdered sugar
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

Steps:

  • Combine butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until smooth.
  • Add vanilla; continue beating until well mixed.
  • Reduce speed to low. While beating at low speed, gradually add powdered sugar until well mixed. (If mixture is too soft, cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to form balls.).
  • Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Cover loosely; refrigerate until firm (2 hours, or overnight if preferred).
  • Melt chocolate chips and shortening in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth (3 to 4 minutes).
  • Insert a toothpick into a buttercream bon bon. Holding the toohpick, dip the bon bon into the melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip back into saucepan.
  • Place chocolate-covered bon bon on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, and remove the toothpick. Repeat until all the bon bons are coated with melted chocolate.
  • Place the sheet of bon bons in the refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
  • Place bon bons in an air-tight container, with a sheet of waxed paper between the layers to keep the bon bons from sticking to one another. Store container in refrigerator (or in the freezer for up to 2 months) until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • If you want to add a fun twist to your bonbons, try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts, dried fruit, or crushed candy to the melted chocolate before dipping.
  • Bonbons can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
