Write messages with a permanent ink marker on parchment paper.

2 Prepare your Fruit Roll-Ups
Unroll one Fruit Roll-Up (any flavor you prefer) and cut into four squares.

3 Slice with cookie cutters
Stack the four squares on top of each other and cut with 2-inch round cookie cutter.

4 Insert the message
Place message in the center of the stacked circles and fold in half, like a taco.
