    Recipe




    Unfold piecrusts on a lightly floured surface, and roll to press out fold lines.

    Cut with a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter.
    Reroll remaining dough, and repeat procedure. (There should be a total of 46 pastry hearts.)

    Brush 1 side of each pastry heart with egg white, and sprinkle evenly with granulated sugar.
    Place pastry hearts on 2 ungreased baking sheets.
    Bake at 400° for 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
    Remove hearts to wire racks, and let cool.
    Stir together cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and almond extract until blended.
    Spread cream cheese mixture evenly on unsugared sides of half the
    hearts; spread about 1/2 teaspoon preserves over mixture. \
    Top with remaining hearts, unsugared sides down.

    Microwave white chocolate morsels and 1 tablespoon butter in a glass bowl at HIGH 1 minute or until melted.
    Stir until smooth.
    Place mixture in a small heavy-duty zip-top bag; seal bag. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag, and
    drizzle over tarts.
    Let cool completely; sprinkle with red sparkling sugar, if desired.
    Place in candy boxes, if desired.
