What does CRACK mean?
If a recipe has “crack” in the title it means that the recipe has cheddar, bacon, and ranch in the ingredients. It all started with my Crack Dip way back in 2007. I made the dip for a Titans football game. Everyone went crazy over it. We couldn’t stop eating it and said it was like crack. The name stuck.
According to the dictionary, the definition of crack is “of superior excellence or ability”. We think the flavor combination of cheddar, bacon, and ranch fits this definition! This recipe is most definitely of superior excellence!
How to Make Crack Chicken Wonton Cups
This appetizer recipe is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a small bowl, toss together shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and crumbled bacon.
Press wonton wrappers in a mini muffin pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the crack chicken mixture into the wontons. Bake in a preheated oven until the filling is bubbly and the wontons are golden brown. Garnish with parsley or green onions.
