Ingredients

• 1/2 of a  17-1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry (1 sheet), thawed
• 3/4  cup cherry pie filling
• 8  teaspoons fudge ice-cream topping
• 2  tablespoons chopped nuts

Directions

1. On a lightly floured surface, unfold thawed pastry. Using a 3-1/2- to 4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut pastry into shapes, discarding pastry scraps or reserving for another use. Place pastry hearts on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool on racks.

2. Split hearts horizontally; fill each with some of the pie filling. Place hearts on dessert plates. Drizzle with fudge topping;* sprinkle with nuts. Serve immediately. Makes 8 servings.

*Note: Heat fudge topping if too thick to drizzle.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare pastry hearts; cool. Place in airtight freezer container; place crumbled paper towels around hearts to prevent breaking. Seal, label, and freeze up to 2 weeks.Thaw at room temperature before serving.
