Banana Caramel Moneybags

This is a super easy little dessert I dreamed up today. I love bananas and caramel and its a quick take on banana fritters without the fuss.  I always have a squeeze bottle of home-made caramel sauce in the fridge for desserts. The sauce is a breeze to make in the microwave and keeps well in the fridge.You can buy it ready made and while its good, it is no substitute for the real deal.  The wonton wrappers can be found in the cold section of major supermarkets. Whip up a batch, you wont be disappointed. Each banana will make about 8 moneybags.
