Crab Rangoon Dip with Baked Wonton Chips

One of my favorite appetizers, is Crab Rangoon and it is almost always on my order  when we go out to eat Chinese food.  This dip is amazing, and a perfect way to satisfy the "Crab Rangoon Cravings" ha ha, but it is right from your own kitchen.  It is a quick and easy recipe, with no frying at all, because the Won Tons are baked instead of fried, and they take only 5 minutes to bake.  The dip is loaded with crab meat, cream cheese, Mozzarella, and is topped with Chili sauce and green onions, and let me tell you, that Chili sauce on the top is so good, you'll be going back for more.
