These sound perfect for a late night snack.... can they be frozen and baked at a later time?

I don't know about freezing the wontons after baking the first time before adding the filling. They're kind of crispy and may fall apart in the freezer.
You could probably freeze the filling ingredients and then just bake the wontons when you're going to have them and add the filling and bake again. Did that make sense?
