Game Day Dessert Nachos-Vote Now!

Head over to Orson Gygi and vote for my Game Day Dessert Nachos!! It’s such a fun contest and you’ll be such a great friend for voting. ;)

So, I was invited to participate in a fun caramel contest, and while there were so many options to make I finally decided on one that would great to munch on through football season.
I know I’m not the only one out there that loves nachos. Go ahead and try to pretend like you are above the cheesy, goopy, stick to your arteries nachos, but I am totally not buying it. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that you probably cannot resist nachos. You may not think about them, but if you’re at a baseball game and your friend plops down on the bench next to you, you know you’re going to snag one of those cripsy, cheesey, delicious… oh my gosh I need nachos. CRAP. Good thing I’ve got Tropical Nachos.

Now, we’ve already established that as cool, and healthy as we believe ourselves to be we cannot turn down a plate of nachos, let’s talk about how much better they are as dessert. MMMMMMMMM Chocolate. First of all, I will completely admit that I am a cheese lover. Yup, cheese over chocolate. Every. Single. Time. Well, not this time. It all started with the wontons.

I recently judged a funeral potatoes contest at the state fair. (Psst, don’t worry, I had no clue what funeral potatoes were until I moved to Utah. I hate to admit it, but they are awesome! Oh cheesy deliciousness) Anyway, Mr. Handsome and I reaaaaaallly wanted an elephant ear while we were there, but alas, we didn’t really have enough time, so we headed home. The next day I still wanted one and when I saw the wontons in the fridge they sparked an idea. Fried wontons in cinnamon sugar! Oh!! And then I could use the caramel from the contest, loads of chocolate and candy bars. oh heavens. Let’s just say I got pretty full that afternoon, and while I may not have thoroughly enjoyed all three football games Mr. Handsome watched that day, I did enjoy the food.

Game Day Dessert Nachos

1 Package Wonton Wrappers, cut in half on the diagonal (creating triangles)
1 loaf of Peter’s Caramel
1 Cup Peter’s Milk Chocolate (This comes in a block, so you will need to chop off chunks)
1/2 Cup Mercken’s White Chocolate Buttons

2 Snickers Candy Bars
2 Large Apples, Granny Smith, Chopped
Sea Salt Flakes
1-2 Cups Cinnamon Sugar
Peanut or Canola oil for frying

Place the cinnamon sugar in a pie plate, set aside.
Chop the snickers, and set aside.
Chop the apple, and set aside.
Heat a large, high edged skillet over medium high heat, with oil about 1/3 the way up. Once the oil starts to pop, start adding the wontons one by one. Allow them to cook until almost golden and using tongs or a spider, flip the wontons over. Once they reach golden they quickly turn dark, so it is truly best to flip right before that point. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. After they have drained a moment, add them to the cinnamon sugar, tossing to coat.
Place the caramel in a microwave safe dish, heat on high for one minute, stir and heat another minute at 50% power. Stir again and if needed continue melting at 50% power in 30 second increments.
Melt the milk chocolate and the Mercken’s white buttons in separate bowls, by placing them in the microwave at high power for 30 seconds and then 50% power for 30 second intervals until the chocolate is almost smooth, stirring at each interval. Remove from the microwave, and stir until the remaining little chunks melt.
Place the cinnamon sugar wontons on a large platter, top with apple, candy bars chunks, caramel, chocolate and a sprinkling of sea salt.
