Because it was a warm day and I didn’t want to stand in front of a hot oven in a cocktail dress for any longer than I had to, I decided to take the buffalo chicken one in more of a cold salad direction instead of Angela’s original hot appetizer. For the veggie pizza one, I changed up the filling just a little bit by using a packet of ranch dressing seasoning I had leftover from some recipe testing awhile back. I made both fillings and chopped garnishes the night before, so all I had to do the day of the cocktail hour was bake the cups real quick, and then fill them up. The only “problem” I had with making these is that while baking my first batch, some of the wonton cups folded in on themselves. That was easily corrected for the second batch just by taking care to press the wrappers onto the sides and bottoms of the muffin cups, making sure they were somewhat flush against the walls of the cups.
I’m pretty much in love with these things now, and will probably make them for any and all future parties I host or am invited to. I’ll keep making them until people tell me to stop, basically. Friends, you’ve been warned. Wonton cups are most definitely in your future.
These were the perfect appetizer before Sunset At The Zoo. For those who are not in the know, it is basically an adult prom (complete with games, food, drinks, and dancing) at the Detroit Zoo. Events like these definitely make our friends feel like adults, act like adults, and eat like adults.
We’re adults – sad, but true.
Thanks Angela! I’m so in love with wonton cups now! I never knew how amazing they were before I found your blog. I like the cold buffalo chicken because you can have it all mixed up in advance, or the day before. It’s also a good mixture to use for sandwiches 🙂
Absolutely LOVE both of these ideas, Lori! Your creations are putting you right up there on the wonton cup throne, as well! 😉 I am so blown away by the idea of doing buffalo chicken in cold-form. I had never thought of it. I am so stealing that idea (I mean, “borrowing”). 🙂 So glad everything turned out! And, thank you for the credit, but really … you came up with some inspiring and original ones, too! 🙂
That would be fun, I would participate for sure.
Thanks Suzanne. No real contest, the “Pinterest Challenge” is just something I came up with to challenge myself. haha 🙂 It’s a good idea though – maybe I can round up some other bloggers and we can all take on some Pinterest recipes together.
Good luck on the contest, I’d vote for you, your little appetizers are wonderful, love the wonton wrappers and filling, cream cheese and buffalo chicken, yum!! Your photo say’s it all, it’s just beautiful.
