- Cut a 1-inch slit in center of wide edge of each rectangle.
- Then on the opposite wide edge across from slit, pinch dough together to form the point of the heart.
- Next, separate each cut slit and gently press dough into a heart shape. The heart should be around 6x5-inches. Don't forget to create a slight rim on the edge of the dough.
- Refrigerate the molds for about 30 minutes or until completely set. Then gently remove the molds.
