Chocolate Mint Sandwiches

Compound coatings are the discs that you see in the candy or craft stores. Check my blog link for other names you might find this chocolate under. I used Guittard Chocolate and Mint Green A’Peels. 60 discs equals a heaping cup.

Equipment needed:
Double boiler or small saucepan
Microwave safe bowls
Small baking sheet
Parchment paper
Offset spatula or rubber spatula
Sharp, thin knife

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put compound coatings in 3 separate bowls that each will fit in a saucepan. In a saucepan (use one that the bowls will be able to sit on top of — or use a double boiler) bring about 1” of water to almost a boil. Remove pan from stove and put one bowl of milk chocolate on top of the saucepan. Stir and heat until chocolate is almost melted. Remove the bowl from the top of the saucepan and place it onto a kitchen towel. Repeat for other two chocolates. Pour one bowl of melted chocolate onto the center of the parchment paper. Using an offset spatula, spread it into a 10’x7” rectangle that is 1/8” thick. Wait 1-2 minutes till the layer has a matte finish. Then pour the melted mint layer on next and spread it to the edges of the first layer. Let the mint layer set to a matte finish and repeat with the second chocolate layer. Wait about 15 minutes for the entire thing to set and then cut into 1” squares. Store in an airtight container in a cool area

Makes approximately 70 squares.
