PB&J Wontons
Gretchen Van De Carr, of Durham took first place with this creative PB&J appetizer. I like the fact that they stay crunchy and are baked. Not to mention, leftovers will keep for up to a week. These treats are savory, sweet and spicy all in one bite.

NC Ingredients: peanut butter, pepper jelly
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out wonton wrappers on parchment paper leaving a little room to work between each.
Place 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in the center of each wonton.
Place 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of pepper jelly on top of the peanut butter in the center of each wonton.
Get a small bowl of water.
Dip your fingers in the water and run them along all edges of a wrapper. Then fold that wrapper into a triangle and press edges together. I like to use a fork to help press edges (optional, but pretty).
Repeat with the rest of the wonton wrappers.
Brush the tops of the triangles with olive oil. Sprinkle wontons with course sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes. LET COOL for at least 5 minutes. Enjoy warm or cold.
