Notes
Before starting, place cream cheese on the counter at room temperature for an hour or so. This will soften the cream cheese and make it easier to work with.
Use fresh grated cheese for the best taste and consistent melting.
If you are concerned about the tips of the wonton cups getting too brown when you bake them with the filling added, place the cups in a 9x13 dish and cover with foil before placing in the oven.
If you find jalapenos to be too spicy, remove the membrane (white part inside) and the seeds. This is where most of the heat is stored. I explain more information about jalapenos including selecting a good jalapeno and spiciness levels here.
