Crunchy Fried Chocolate Wontons Recipe

1. 1

   Working six at a time, lay out wonton wrappers on work surface, with one corner pointing toward the top. Place 1/2 teaspoon chopped chocolate in the center of the top half of each wonton, keeping chocolate about 1/2 inch from edge.

2. 2

   Lightly brush the top left and top right edges of wontons with water. Lift up bottom point and fold over chocolate to touch top point, forming a triangle. Press edges to seal well, gently pressing out air in the pocket before sealing.

3. 3

   Place assembled wontons on towel lined plate and cover with lightly dampened paper towel while you finish the remaining wontons. In small bowl, stir together sugar and five spice powder; reserve.

4. 4

   Fill heavy duty pot with 2 inches oil. Heat on medium heat to 360&degF. Working in 2 or 3 batches, carefully lower in wontons one at a time. Fry until golden brown, flipping and agitating with chopsticks, tongs, or a wire mesh spider as they cook, about 45 seconds. Drain on paper towel lined plate. Adjust heat as necessary between batches to keep temperature at 360&degF.

5. 5

   Sift sugar/spice mixture over wontons and serve.
