Chocolate Cinnamon Wontons

This could easily be the most gratifying thing I’ve ever made – simple to put together, even quicker to prep and bake and moreover, so fun to eat! It’s the perfect dessert option after a heavy meal and you want something to nibble on. It’s also a good gift-from-the-kitchen idea – if anyone knows where we could get small Chinese take out boxes, you could toss in some pretty paper, add these wontons over it and seal the box with a kiss.
The process isn’t much – you just have to watch over them to make sure they don’t burn. If I were you, I wouldn’t skip the cinnamon sugar dust – the aroma is just sublime. It needs really fine chocolate squares – the expensive kind. I used Lindt Roasted Almond but you could easily use Lindt thins or even squares of liquor chocolates. See? Fun in a wonton.
