Sausage Wonton Appetizer

These things are seriously delicious for your lunches all week a party! They take simple ingredients and are super easy to whip up. Plus, aren't the cute!?

My mom first made these while I was in high school and if there's ever an opportunity where she asks my opinion about what to make, these are always the first thing I suggest. We always have them on Christmas Eve, we've taken them to many friends' houses and she even made them for my Bridal Shower last summer.
