  • Roll the short ends of the puff pastry sheet in towards the center, jelly roll style, leaving a 1-inch gap in the center. Repeat the steps with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Transfer the puff pastry rolls to a tray. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (205ºC). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice each roll into 1/2-inch slices. Place the slices 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets, cut side down, forming into heart shapes. Sprinkle any remaining sparkling sugar over the hearts.
