When I was looking for ideas for Valentine treats, I was inspired by the look of these strawberry love notes. We didn't need another sweet treat so I decided to make a savory one that looked similar.
It had to be kid friendly, which typically equates to lots of carbs and fat. From experience if food has cheese or bread or something of that sort, the kids will devour it.

The filling is basically spinach/artichoke dip with extra cheese. It went from weird to good. So that was the plan.
