Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag DOVE® Brand Dark or Milk Chocolate Hearts
- 1 1/2 sticks butter, unsalted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg(s)
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 2 cups pecans, finely chopped (optional)
- 28 mini paper cupcake liners

What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, and slowly stir in the flour and (if desired) one cup of the chopped pecans.
- Roll nicely rounded teaspoons of the dough into 1-1/4-inch balls; then (if desired) roll the balls in the remaining cup of pecans.
- Line the mini muffin pans with the mini cupcake liners. Place one ball into each cup, and bake until golden (about 12 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean).
- Remove from oven, and place one DOVE® Brand Dark or Milk Chocolate Heart firmly on top of each ball.
- Return to oven for 3 minutes, remove, and let cool completely.
