Welcome back to another Target Good & Gather post...
It's like this is all I'm eating anymore, but I'm not mad, because overall, I'm quite impressed.
Today, we are going to discuss the Jalapeno Cream Cheese Wontons.
Yes, I know, it's a lot of dairy. I've been very lax lately in my trying not to eat dairy. It's a personal decision I've been making because I need comfort, and dairy is a big comfort for me. Don't judge me.
First, let me just say that this idea is incredible, and each part of these are great! But I have my issues...
The sweet chili sauce? Delicious!
The wonton? Delicious!
The jalapeno and cream cheese? DELICIOUS!
Unfortunately, all together, it just doesn't work.
Much to my surprise, the jalapeno was STRONG and spicy! I had to pause after eating each one because it kept shocking me how spicy they were.
And the wonton was nice and crispy... a bit too crispy for my liking, but I can get over that.
I think that the actual wontons could have been great by themselves, but adding in the sauce was just too much. The sweetness of the chili really clashed with the jalapeno, and the spice that was in the sauce also clashed with the jalapeno. It was really disappointing.
And I tried to eat the wontons by themselves, but I was really missing the sauce aspect.
So it's hard to eat either way. I think if they had included a separate sauce instead of the sweet chili sauce, it would have been really helpful. But they didn't, and it made me sad.
I hate to do this, but I have to give it a 3/10. It had all the right elements that just didn't come together.....
They do have a version without the jalapeno that's just cream cheese, so I'll have to try that one and see if it's better.
That's it for this one!
Thanks for reading!
Byeeeeee!
