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 this for my family’s Easter gathering and everyone loved it. The baking tray they were on was the first one empty. Thank you for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Alicia! I’m thrilled to read this!
How long can these remain out once they are cooked? I’d like to make them for a wedding cocktail hour, but need to make them about an hour before hand.
Hi Jennifer! The dip shouldn’t sit out for more than two hours at room temperature.
These are amazing we make them regularly they are a favorite my teenage son and his friends gobble them right up!
I’m so thrilled to read this, Tori!
I made the dip Won Ton Cups tonight
And I loved them. Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome, Paula! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Lovely recipe. Made it twice and the second time I added some chopped boiled ham, cayenne pepper (just a dash) and a 1/4 tsp of sherry. The sherry added a deep richness to the flavors and accented the ham to make it sweeter. Absolutely will make it again! Thanks!!
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Deb!
These were simple to prepare and delicious! They were a crowd pleaser! Even my mother in-law who rarely compliments anything loved the appetizers. That’s a win! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
I’m so thrilled everyone enjoyed the recipe, Lisa!
Where can I find wonton wrappers? No luck at my three local grocery stores. I ended up with plantain cups so hopefully that’s an okay substitute.
Hi Heather! Did you ask a store representative where they keep their supply? Some stores stock them in the produce section while other stores stock them in the dairy aisle.
Can you make the spinach dip the day before?
Absolutely, Jessica!
very nice dip wonton cups. I also make a cold dip adding black olives. I serve with piadina,the italian tortilla. Thanks.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
These were amazing and a hit!! I also added a half can of chopped water chestnuts to add to the texture. Delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Laura!
These were delicious. I’m next making the chicken pot stickers since I bought too many wonton wrappers and I have ground chicken in the freezer. Loving your site!!

They were easy to prepare and tasted really good.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Mary!
These look so good! I am making them to bring to a friends place that has a garlic and onion allergy. Do you think they will still be good if I don’t put garlic in this time that I make them?
They’ll have less flavor but should still be great!
These looked, smelled and tasted great, and came together quickly. A nice, neat finger food to grab from a buffet table, and they reheat the next day even better.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Marie!
They were a hit and a lovely presentation on a pretty plate–plus, they made my kitchen smell so good, my daughter said she wishes they made a scented candle of them. :) Thank you, Kelly!
Yessss! You are so welcome, Marie. I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Making these today–they look and sound yummy. Question: what does the vegetable spray do? You put the wonton wrappers into the muffin tin, then spray? Thank you.
Hi Marie! Yes, arrange the wonton wrappers in your muffin pan then spray them lightly with cooking spray. Enjoy!
Hi do you cover the taco cups. Can you?
Hi Lisa – Do you mean cover them prior to baking?
