Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Buffalo Chicken Bacon Mozzarella Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them before baking; they can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, place the bombs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but the texture may not be as crispy.
Serving: Serve the bombs warm and pair them with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. Garnish with additional chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
Chef’s Tip: For an added flavor boost, experiment with different types of cheese or add spices to the filling. Make sure to seal the wonton wrappers tightly to prevent leaking during baking.
