Spinach Artichoke Bites

I made these for my niece's birthday party BBQ and everyone RANTED AND RAVED about them.  Her family even insisted I get them the recipe a couple of times.  Definitely worth making again.

Spinach and Artichoke Bites (original recipe found here)

Ingredients (yields 4 dozen bites)

• 1 (8 oz.) package softened cream cheese (I used reduced fat)
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• 2 tubes of crescent roll dough
• shredded mozzarella (optional, though in my opinion completely necessary)

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.  Lightly spray muffin tins with baking spray.

Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well.  

Once you’ve combined the dip, set aside.

Roll your crescent roll dough out onto a large cutting board/work surface.  Working with half of the dough at time (4 triangles), pinch all of the creases together so that you’re left with one big piece of dough.  Cut the dough into 12 equal squares with a pizza cutter.

Put one square in the bottom of each muffin tin, the put about a teaspoon worth of the dip inside.

Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese, then bake for 12 minutes.

Seriously divine.
