This recipe doesn’t require a ton of ingredients, and even the process goes by fast. If you have delicate skin, you may want to wear gloves when chopping and de-seeding the peppers. You can easily make up the cream cheese filling the day before, and then create the popper wonton cups on the day of the big game. While I haven’t experimented with this yet, you may want to keep the pepper separate if you do it – overnight, the peppers will definitely make the cheese a bit spicier. Give these a try for your next gathering and I guarantee you’ll get all the compliments!

12 wonton wrappers

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
