Ingredients: 8 oz cream cheese; salt, to taste; ground black pepper, to taste; garlic powder, to taste; 1 package wonton wrappers; 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying; 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, or to taste

1

Optionally, score the top of the cream cheese block in a diamond pattern.

2

Season the cream cheese block generously on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Create a small boat out of aluminum foil, large enough to hold the cream cheese block, and place the seasoned cheese inside.

Place the foil boat with the cream cheese on a smoker preheated to 225°F.

5

Smoke for approximately 2 hours.

While the cream cheese is smoking, prepare the wonton chips. Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

7

Carefully add wonton wrappers to the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

8

Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

9

After 2 hours, carefully remove the smoked cream cheese from the smoker.

10

Pour the sweet chili sauce generously over the top of the warm cream cheese.

11

Serve immediately with the crispy fried wonton chips for dipping.
