Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.

Bring 2 opposite corners together in the middle of the wonton and pinch. Repeat with the other 2 corners and pinch to form a package shape.

Repeat with the remaining wontons and cream cheese until all are filled.

Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F.

Fry 5 to 6 wontons at a time for 3 to 5 minutes, turning them as needed to make sure they brown evenly.

Drain the cooked wontons on paper towels and repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons.
