Wong Tong Tarts

I'm pretty sure it was the day before Thanksgiving that I was first introduced to the idea of won ton tarts. And I really don''t remember why we are calling them Wong Tong Tarts...I know there was a story, but I just don't remember it! I'm sure Mona could tell it though...

Anyway, last week I had a dinner thing to go to. One where I was asked to bring a dessert. As it so happened, my sister, Belinda, was also in need of a dessert for something she was doing at work on Thursday. So we decided to get together and make won ton tarts for our respective gatherings. They turned out great, and we received rave reviews all around. Thanks, Mona, for bringing such a simple and crowd pleasing dessert to my life!

But here is my wong tong tart funny story. It happened on Wednesday. I needed to go to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple items, and figured as long as I was there, I would grab the ingredients I needed for making won ton tarts later that night. Just one problem- where in the heck do you find won ton papers in Wal-Mart??? I had no idea where to start looking. So my mom, who was on this little outing with me, asks the poor guy stocking one of the shelves in the dairy section.

Mom: "Excuse me, could you tell me where I might find won ton papers?"
Wal-Mart Employee: ... (seriously, I could hear the crickets chirping) Finally, he says, "Hmmmm, I'm not sure. Probably back with the Saran wrap and stuff."
Mom: "Okay, thank you."
Then she turns to me and says, "Maybe you should call Mona and ask her where to find them."

Okay, so maybe I had more of an idea of where to start looking than I thought. I, at least, knew to look in the food section of the store!

For the record, you can find them up near the front of the store, with the fruits and veggies and tofu.

I think they turned out pretty great. You should probably make some for your next holiday party. :)
