  18. 18
    I reduced the initial amount of butter and it was fine.
  19. 19
    I tried spraying them with butter flavored spray instead of brushing them with butter and they would have been better with the butter.

    I also used bigger, square wontons and folded them diagonally to make them like turnovers (made 6).
  21. 21
    They were very tasty.
  22. 22
    Serve with some fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt and they would be a great lowfat dessert.
