- Next, fold the bottom corner up over the brie.
- Then fold the right corner over the brie.
- Then fold the left corner over the brie.
- You may need to make a small adjustment to both sides to make the won ton a bit more narrow towards the top corner.
- Make the last fold by rolling the brie up towards the top corner.
- Repeat with 2 more won ton wrappers and set aside.
- For the chive brie bites:
- Chop the green part of the onion into small pieces (you just need about 2 long green pieces of the onion).
- Same as above, lay a piece of brie on to a won ton wrapper.
- Add about 1/4 teaspoon of the diced green onion on top of the brie.
- Then roll it up in the won ton wrapper.
- Repeat with 2 more won ton wrappers and set aside.
- For the cheddar cheese jalapeno bites:
- Remove the seeds from the jalapeno and slice into pieces as thinly as possible.
- Cut the cheddar cheese into 3 pieces that are about 1 inch by 1 inch in size.
- Lay 3 or 4 slices of the jalapeno on the won ton wrapper.
- Next add a piece of the cheddar cheese on top of the jalapenos.
- Then roll it up in the won ton wrapper.
- Repeat with 2 more won ton wrappers and set aside.
- For the string cheese jalapeno bites:

- Then roll it up in the won ton wrapper.
- Repeat with 2 more won ton wrappers and set aside.
- Cooking the cheese bites:
- Add the canola oil to a medium size skillet.
- Depending on the diameter of your skillet, you may need a little more oil so that its about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the oil on medium heat.
- Add four or five of the rolled up won tons at a time to the oil and keep a close eye on them.
- Fry each side of the won ton until golden brown.
- If the won tons are cooking too fast, turn the heat down a bit.
- Remove from the oil and set on to a paper towel to drain off the excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite type of sauce.
- Some easy sauce ideas include mixing sour cream with your favorite salsa; or honey with Dijon mustard; or mayonnaise with adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers.
