Use about 1 cup of imitation crab meat, or adjust between 1/2 cup and 1 cup based on preference.

Add 2 teaspoons of ranch powder to the crab meat.

Chop green onions, using mostly the greens, and add to the mixture.

Add 2.5 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the mixture.

Mix the crab meat, ranch powder, green onions, and powdered sugar together until well combined.

If desired, add soy sauce to the mixture for flavor.

Soften cream cheese in the microwave for 1 minute if not at room temperature, then add the entire 8-ounce box to the mixture and mix well.

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more powdered sugar if needed.

Wet the edges of a wonton wrapper with cold water using your finger.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of the wonton wrapper.

Fold the sides of the wonton wrapper up and seal tightly, ensuring no filling escapes.

Set the filled wontons aside on a baking sheet while preparing to fry them.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until hot.

Fry 5 to 6 wontons at a time to avoid overcrowding, cooking until golden brown.

Remove fried wontons and drain on paper towels.
