You can be creative and sprinkle the Ricotta with mini chips, nuts or whatever you want. Experiment using different dippers even chocolate dipped pretzels. Serve chilled and enjoy. I bought won ton wrappers and cut them on the diagonal and sprayed both sides with Pam and baked them at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes. Before they cool I sprinkled the chips with powered sugar. Cool and cover with dark chocolate either by dipping in one end or drizzling over the spread out won ton chips. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
