I don’t know very many people who actually enjoy conversation heart candy. For most people, it’s chalky, dry, and just not very flavorful. But I know a ton of people who LOVE those cute little messages on the candy hearts, including me! So, I wanted a way to incorporate those messages into our Valentine’s Day without the candies, and thus Conversation Heart Hand Pies were born.

We usually have chocolate donuts for breakfast on Valentine’s Day, and I pack a few of these hand-pies into everyone’s lunch!

Conversation Heart Hand Pies

These tender and flaky hand pies are filled with raspberry pie filling (or your favorite flavor) and are delicious on their own! But once they are baked you can add a little message to the top before glazing!

Supplies

The full printable recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of the post, but here is a quick overview of everything that you will need for this recipe!

• Large heart cookie cutter
• Refrigerated pie crust (pack of 2)
• Raspberry (or preferred flavor) pie filling
• Fork
• Red Food Coloring (or you can use natural food coloring instead!)
• Paintbrush
• Powdered Sugar
• Milk

Instructions

These hand-pies are as easy as they are adorable! Get the printable recipe with full ingredient measurements at the end of this post!

1. Cut – Use the heart cookie cutter to cut out the pie crusts. Using my cookie cutter I was able to get 5 hearts out of each crust. Place them on a greased cookie sheet.
2. Fill – Use a spoon to place a heart-shaped section of pie filling on 5 of the hearts. DO NOT OVERFILL. You will regret it.
3. Crimp – Place the 5 empty hearts over the filled ones and use a fork to crimp the edges before baking.
4. Bake – Preheat your oven to 450°F and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden brown.
5. Cool – When they’re done baking, they should look like this. Let them cook on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
6. Decorate – Use a fine paintbrush to paint little messages onto your pies in red food coloring. Just use the food coloring directly, no need to water it down! Don’t use too much or it will bleed into the pie crust and look really funky. Let them dry for 10 minutes before adding the glaze.
7. Glaze – Place wax paper on your cooling rack. Place the pies on the wax paper and spoon the glaze carefully over the top of the pies. The food coloring won’t bleed unless you press on the words and smear it.
8. Enjoy – Let them dry for 10-15 minutes and then they’re ready to eat!
