Notes
This dip keeps really well in the refrigerator, so you can make it in advance for a get-together, then remove from the fridge before guests arrive. Simply cover the bowl it’s in with plastic wrap.
Store the Cinnamon-Sugar Wontons in a sealed container at room temperature. They will become soft if stored in the refrigerator.
If you don't want to make Cinnamon-Sugar Wontons, graham crackers would be a delicious substitute!
