I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cups didn't turn out crispy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I had a hard time finding wonton wrappers at my local grocery store. I ended up using egg roll wrappers instead and they worked just fine.

The cups were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll use less butter next time.

These cups were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and pepper next time.

These cups were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped vegetables to make them even healthier.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken carbonara, but these cups were delicious! The bacon and cheese were the perfect addition.
