This is a spicy little appetizer that came to me while planning my son's 21st birthday party. Deep fried in peanut oil they were a hit served alone, but I suspect a dressing such as ranch or blue cheese would have been nice for dipping.

Ingredients

24 jalepeno stuffed olives
4 Tbs. cream cheese
4 Tbs. finley grated sharp cheddar cheese
24 wonton wrappers
Oil for deep frying

Directions

Remove the jalapenos from the olives and place them in a mini chopper with the two cheeses. Pulse until completely incorporated. Using a butter knife, carefully stuff each olive with this mixture. Place upside down in the middle of a wonton wrapper and bring the corners up over the bottom sealing each one with a drop of water. Wrap the sides close also sealing with water. This may be done in advance and when you are ready to serve, bring the oil to 256 degrees and fry for 2 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
