Look at her.

Bubbly edges. Creamy crab tucked into every scoop. That glossy sweet chili sauce swirled across the top. Fresh chives for a little pop. And those golden baked wonton triangles on the side ready to dive in.

This is the kind of dip that makes people pause mid-conversation.

And the baked wontons? Crisp, salty, perfectly golden. You break one in half, scoop deep, and suddenly you’re “just tasting it” for the fourth time.

It’s warm. It’s scoopable. It’s a little extra in the best way.

Set this out and watch the bowl of wontons empty fast.

Wonton Chips

  • Preheat the oven at 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.
  • Fold the wonton wrappers in half to form triangles and place them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  • Spread the crab rangoon dip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle or spoon the remaining chili sauce over the top.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use real crab instead of krab?

Absolutely. Real cooked crab makes this taste a little sweeter and more “seafood-forward.” Just drain well and gently fold it in so the pieces stay chunky.

Do I need the shrimp?

Nope, it’s optional. It adds extra texture and a slightly firmer bite, but the dip is still rich and satisfying with just crab.

How do I keep the dip from getting watery?

Use well-drained crab and shrimp, and make sure your cream cheese is at room temp so it blends smoothly without overmixing. If your seafood was previously frozen, thaw fully and pat dry before chopping.

What should I serve with it besides wonton chips?

Crispy crackers, toasted baguette slices, or sturdy cut veggies (like cucumber rounds or bell pepper strips) all work. If you want the classic rangoon vibe, wonton chips are the closest match.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave in short bursts, stirring halfway, then add a fresh drizzle of sweet chili sauce on top.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. Mix the dip, spread it in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes, then top with the sweet chili sauce and chives right before serving.
