Strawberry Heart Pillows (serves 16)

Ingredients
1 frozen puff pastry sheet
1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves
1 cup thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping, divided
4 large strawberries, each cut into 4 slices
1 square Baker's Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Unfold pastry.
Cut into 16 hearts with 2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter.
Place on ungreased baking sheets.

2. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

3. Cut each heart horizontally in half.
Spread 1 tsp of the jam onto bottom half of each heart; top with 1 TBSP of the whipped topping and a strawberry slice.
Cover with tops of hearts.
Drizzle with chocolate.
Serve immediately.
Or, cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour.

* I would think it would be nice to add a little red food coloring in the whipped cream to make it pinkish for the Valentine's Day look. Serve on a plate sprinkled with powdered sugar.
