Notes

Use white frosting and add green food coloring.
Use white cake mix and add green food coloring.
Lightly brush egg wash on tips of won-tons and sprinkle with colored sugar before baking for added glitz.
After baking, spray won-tons with Wilton colored mist to give them extra color.
Keep chilled so the frosting and handles stay firm. They will soften when exposed to warm temperatures and begin to droop.
