Cream Cheese Won Tons

These are my favorite items on the Chinese Buffet..  :)

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 (6.5 ounce) can minced clams

2 green onions, chopped

2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (14 ounce) package small won ton wrappers

3 cups vegetable oil for frying

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, clams, green onions, water chestnuts, paprika and ground black pepper. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling into the won ton skin and seal corner to corner forming a triangle.

In a large skillet, heat oil to a high temperature. Fry the won tons until they are browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
