    I cannot go to an American Chinese restaurant without ordering crab rangoon. It's my biggest weakness. The crispy wonton wrapper combined with the creamy cheese and the slight sweetness of the imitation crab? It's the perfect appetizer. If I'm making appetizers at home though, I don't always want to be in the kitchen pinching dozens of rangoons closed. Enter the crab rangoon dip!

    This melty, creamy dip has all the flavors of crab rangoon, but with extra cheese. I used real crab in this recipe, but if you want this to taste exactly like a take-out crab rangoon, use imitation crab!

    This dip can be served with tortilla chips or any of your favorite chip-like dip vessels, but I recommend making your own wonton chips. The crispy chips will taste just like the outside of a crab rangoon.

    wonton wrappers

    These are the wonton wrappers that I buy. You can find them at any Asian grocery store.

    I like to grab three at a time and cut them into fourths diagonally, so you get four triangles. Fry them in oil at 300 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping often until brown and crispy.
