Scale

8 oz Dark Chocolate

1 cup Cherry Preserves

1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk

4 tbsp Unsalted Butter

2 cups Powdered Sugar

In a mixing bowl, combine cherry preserves, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Scoop small portions of the filling, roll into balls, and shape into hearts before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Dip each heart into melted chocolate and let excess drip off before placing back on parchment.
Cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
