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.
