Healthy Baked Crab Rangoon's

I love Chinese food...especially those little fried crab wonton rangoon thingies. I was thinking that there must be a way to make those absolutely terribly unhealthy for you forms of deliciousness...remotely healthy. After doing some research, thinking, and experimenting, I created some absolutely delicious forms of healthiness! :)

Ingredients
-square wonton wrappers
-1 (8oz) package of Neufchatel cream cheese, softened
-1 (8oz) package of crab meat, shredded (I used imitation because it was on sale for $2)
-green onions

1. Preheat the oven to 350*.
2. Spray down muffin tins with cooking spray. I used a 12 muffin pan and a 6 muffin tin, to make 18. 
3. Lay a wrapper over each tin, and push it in a little to line tin. 
4. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the crab meat and cream cheese.
5. Spoon mixture into each tin on top of the wonton wrappers.
6. If desired, push another wrapper in along the top of the crab meat. I did half of mine this way. It makes them have some extra crunch.
7. Sprinkle green onions over the top.
8. Bake at 350* for about 10 minutes, until heated through and tips are golden brown. 



Can you believe these are only 64 calories a piece!! Compare that to the around 200 calories a piece for the fried ones!! I had a few of these and a salad for a nice little dinner. 

Try them out, and let me know what you think!!
