Directions

1
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pitted dates and finely chopped walnut meats until evenly mixed.

Carefully lower the sealed wontons into the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
