    Mini Dill Pickle Egg Rolls

    I love serving finger foods for the big game on Sundays. I seem to always serve the same appetizers though. Chicken Wings, Nachos, Queso Dip, etc. But this year I decided to make these awesome Mini Dill Pickle Egg Rolls.

    Now when I say awesome, I mean delicious, fabulous, can't stop eating them kinda awesome. I asked my wife and mom to do a taste test so I knew they were ready and before you knew it, they had already eaten a few each!

    While I recommend serving these dill pickle egg rolls with some ranch for dipping, you can eat them as-is or use any kinda dipping sauce you want. No matter what you decide to use, you will absolutely love these dill pickle egg rolls.

    Biting into these egg rolls, the first thing you will taste is the dill pickle, then the bacon then the garlic powder. At least that's what I think. Others may think differently. No matter what you taste first, these dill pickle egg rolls are to die for. Trust me.

    Alternatively, you can also use full-size wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers. You will need to adjust the amount of filling you use depending on the size of the wrapper. Cooking time should not change much either. As long as they are golden brown you are good to go.

    🌡️ What temperature for the oil

    I would let the oil heat to at least 350°F before frying the egg rolls. If you put them in before then they will most likely get oil logged and taste way too greasy. This is where a candy thermometer comes in handy!

    💭 Recipe Tip

    While you can pretty much use any brand of cream cheese, I highly recommend you use Philadelphia brand cream cheese. You will taste the difference.

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out!

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.

    💭 Deep Frying Oils

    When it comes to Deep Frying food you want to choose an oil that has a high smoke point and neutral in flavor so it won't affect the flavor of whatever you are frying. Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil, Canola Oil and Peanut Oil are some of the more popular and affordable options.

    For more great recipes with wonton wrappers, I suggest you check these recipes out:
