Brave Mama Bites

My mama would make these for every party we had when I was a kid, and they're usually gone within 5 min! They are a slam dunk hit for any party, gathering, or just cause you're craving them. :) We like to make the won ton cups a day or two ahead, and store in a gallon zip lock baggie; all you have to do the day of is fill the cups with the filling, and pop in the oven to re-heat and make the cheese bubble! You can't go wrong with these delights :) 

PS- the leftover filling mix is DELICIOUS in egg omelets. 

Happy cooking :)
