Skip the separate chips and dip and whip up this handheld recipe for hot and fresh Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups.
I have a confession to make.
While developing this recipe for Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups, I ate not one, not two, not four, but five of them. FIVE. In one sitting. By myself. While 7 months pregnant.
And I don’t know how to feel about that. Ashamed? Proud? Indifferent?
Then my husband came home and ate not one, not two, but three of them. So I beat him by two. But in all fairness, I was eating for 1.5 people so we’re just going to go ahead and call it a draw.
I suppose that’s what’s so addicting about this handheld appetizer. It’s a hot, creamy spinach-artichoke dip that needs no dipping. It needs no chip…ping. It needs nothing more than a hand to lift it from plate to mouth. And as my husband and I both proved, this is not a hard task.
I’ve actually managed to find a way to take the “work” out of chips and dips. Because these baked wonton cups provide all the required crunch of a chip, while at the same time serving as an edible envelope for a classic hot and creamy dip. It’s a twofer!
So if efficiency is your name and creamy-crispy snacks are your game, then allow me to introduce you to your new appetizer all-star that packs a whole lot-o-flavor into every bite. Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups: The laziest snack for the smartest snacker!

I made these and they were very good…I put the wontons in (2) mini muffin pans and used 1/4C parm and 1/4C mozzarella and sprinkled a tad of chili peppers on top. Used a small ice cream scoop to fill. Worked out great
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Chris!
They were deliciouous. Thank you For sharing. Patricia
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Patricia!
Question- are the artichoke hearts in pickled water or plain?
Either one works but I prefer the plain ones in this recipe. Enjoy!
So excited to try this recipe, can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Thank you!
Hi Dawn! You can, but you’d need to cook it first then drain out all the excess moisture by wringing it out in a kitchen towel. Let me know if you try it!
Thank you so much! We will make these tomorrow for Thanksgiving and look forward to it :)
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy!
One quick question- How could you convert them to Mini Cups?
Hi Jackie! Two options: You can trim down the wonton wrappers to fit the mini cup size or you can use the mini phyllo shells. Enjoy!
These Spinach Artichoke Cups were incredibly delicious. In fact, so much so, I had to threaten everyone attending that there better be at least one left for Me! The recipe was very simple to follow! Making them again today! Yummy.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jackie!
hello! would this recipe work using puff pastry?
Absolutely, Cathy!
Where are yall buying the wrappers at?
Hi Olivia! Check the refrigerated section at most major grocery stores. The wrappers are usually kept next to or near the tofu. Hope this helps!
This will be my third time making these to tailgate at the football game tonight. Between tailgating and week end mom trips this is my most requested dish to bring!
So glad you are enjoying the recipe, Carol!
I’m about to make for my third time, SO GOOD!!
Love reading this, Katrina!
Just brought these to a potluck and they were a HIT! My new go to for parties!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Laura!
Thank you for this recipe – I’m making them for a large party. Bringing them and there is no oven at the venue. Can I make the wonton cups ahead of time and put in sealed plastic bags then warm the spinach artichoke dip and fill there? Will the wontons stay crisp?
Absolutely! That would work out great, Lisa.
Lisa, I would like to make the won tons ahead of time and warm the dip afterwards as you suggested. How did you warm the dip? Oven? Microwave? I think the won tons will get too brown if I put them in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes.
I’m stealing this idea and putting my filling in a mini crockpot. Thanks!
Great idea!
It is a great recipe thank u dear kelly
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Mona!
Made these tonight for a family gathering, they were a huge hit. I placed a shrimp sautéed Cajun butter on top of some for a twist.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jody! Love the addition of the shrimp!
Love this recipe! Can’t wait to make it for X-mas. Can you make the filling and refrigerate a few days in advance while still following the instructions as written? This would save so much time! Thanks!
You can absolutely make and refrigerate the filling in advance, Rebekah! That’s a great idea to save time! Let me know how they turn out for you for Christmas!
I have not tried it yet but plan to serve it at a party in two weeks. Thanks for a great looking recipe.
Let me know how they turn out for you, Annette! Hope you enjoy!
