Raspberry Nutella Wontons Recipe

I remember dating for the first time during my divorce. I had dated this guy a few times and finally invited him to my bachelorette pad for dinner and a movie. I was so nervous as this was a defining moment in our “relationship” (I think you know what I mean). In some ways, it was a way to get over the hump. Just sex, really, but carried so much weight on the other hand. I mean, the poor guy didn’t realize it would be first time I had sex with someone other than my husband for the last 10 years. I called my gay friend Frank who told me to think like guy or Samantha from Sex in the City (basically the same thing). Well, I heeded his advice and it was completely liberating and fun. I let go of expectations and just enjoyed myself. We only dated for a month or so after that but it was healing and I finally felt empowered in the dating realm to call the shots. I remember making these Raspberry Nutella Wontons and served them with some bubbly to set the mood.
