Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and mix with electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add egg, sour cream and vanilla to mixture and beat until combined.

To make frosting, combine softened butter and powdered sugar in a bowl and mix with electric mixer until well combined. Add milk and vanilla and mix until well combined. If a thinner frosting is desired, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. If single colored frosting is desired, add food coloring then spread frosting over bars and skip to #11.
If marbled frosting effect is desired, divide frosting evenly into four bowls. Use food coloring to color frosting in each bowl to desired shade. Transfer frosting from each bowl into its own sandwich style bag. Cut a small corner off of each bag to allow frosting to be piped onto bars from bags.
Using bags to pipe, place small dollops of different colored frosting all over bars. Using an offset spatula, very gently spread dollops together. Do not over spread or you will lose the marbled color effect in the frosting.
Gently press BRACH’S® Conversation Hearts into frosting, then cut and serve.
