These cute Peppermint Wonton Kisses are filled with Candy Cane Kisses and are perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges. You only need 4 ingredients!
I was flipping through an old edition of Taste of Home magazine and came across a page I had dog-eared. It was full of easy Christmas cookie recipes that are perfect for gifts, cookie exchanges or parties. That’s where I saw the recipe for Easy Turtle Cookies that I posted last week.
I decided to try the Wonton Kisses for myself, with just a little swap that makes them ideal for the holiday season. Peppermint Wonton Kisses are a fun little package for your party table!
Speaking of the package…do you see a name you might recognize on the back of the Candy Cane Kisses bag? Yep! That’s me! My recipe for Snowball Elf Cupcakes won a contest put on by Hershey a few years ago. Since then, my recipe and name (although the blog name is my old one) have been on the back of the bag. Personally, I think my own photos are much better than theirs, though. 😉
OK, enough bragging. I just had to mention it, though. It’s always a fun treat to check the bags every Christmas to see if they are still there. Now, back to the Wonton Kisses!
You really cannot find an easier recipe for a quick dessert. Peppermint Wonton Kisses only have four ingredients, and that’s including the oil it takes to fry them! I think they would be a fun way to finish off family night with Chinese take out.
Peppermint Wonton Kisses
Ingredients
- 24 Candy Cane Kisses
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place a kiss on the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water (I like to keep a small bowl handy to dip my fingers in as I go.) Fold the opposite corners together over the kiss and pinch the seams together to seal.
- In a skillet or deep fryer, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees. Fry until golden brown (less than 2 minutes) turning once.
- Drain on paper towels and then dust with powdered sugar. For best results, serve right away.
Notes
- Only fry a few at a time to keep the pan from overcrowding.
- Be sure the seams are tightly closed so the melting candy stays inside while cooking!
- Use a slotted spoon or "spider" to quickly scoop and turn the cookies while they cook and remove them from the oil.
Nutrition
Pin these easy cookies for later!

Do you think these could be done in an air fryer?
Nicole Burkholder says
Oooooo!!!! Yes, I think that would work. I’m going to have to try that with my CPE Crisp. You don’t get the golden brown color when air frying that you get from frying in oil, but they would still crisp up nicely. If you try it, come back and comment to let me know how it goes!

Any suggestions on time and temp?
Nicole Burkholder says
For air fry? I’d try 350 for 4 minutes and then check/turn them if possible. Just a total guess 🙂
