Yield: 24 wontons
Help Whip Cancer® Ribbons: Spoon melted pink confectionery coating candy wafers into resealable plastic bag. Trim corner of bag; pipe ribbon shapes onto a chilled Chillzanne® Rectangle Server lined with Parchment Paper. Allow ribbons to set about 5 minutes before carefully removing from parchment.
Cook's Tips: White confectionery coating wafers, tinted pink with oil-based candy colors can be substituted for the pink confectionery coating wafers. Oil-based candy colors can be found at craft stores or stores that carry cake-decorating supplies. Do not use liquid food coloring; it will cause coating to harden.
Unfilled wonton cups can be prepared up to 1 week in advance. Prepare cups as directed in Step 1. Store wontons in a resealable plastic food storage bag or airtight container at room temperature. Prepare filling and fill wonton cups just before serving.

Yes, you could. The confectionary wafers are little discs that you can find in the Cake Dec aisle of a craft store. Wilton is one brand. They are tinted many colors and melt easily.jrstephens said:
Basically, they're the same as the white baking squares, but with a little extra shortening in them.

I was wondering too? Can you dye the confectioner sugar? I thought it would be pretty if you could and then have pink sugar on top instead of the ribbons. But I figure that will make the sugar mess up when it get wet to dye it. I just got some Wilton gel dye on clearance the other night.

Wally World probably does have the discs. They might be near the craft area, or near bakeware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients do I need for the Delicious Berries and Wonton Cups recipe?
To make Delicious Berries and Wonton Cups, you will need wonton wrappers, a variety of fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries), cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and optional mint leaves for garnish.
How do I prepare the wonton cups for the recipe?
To prepare the wonton cups, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin, then press the wonton wrappers into the cups of the tin. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Allow them to cool before filling.
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen berries, but it's best to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using them in the recipe. Fresh berries typically provide a better texture and flavor, but frozen berries can work in a pinch.
How can I make the filling for the wonton cups?
For the filling, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking. Once the wonton cups are cooled, spoon the filling into each cup and top with your choice of fresh berries.

Absolutely! You can experiment with different types of fruit, such as peaches or kiwi, or add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce on top. For a healthier option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for the filling.
