My mom really gets into the Christmas spirit, even in November. When she sees a new treat, she usually buys the stuff and makes it soon after. I'm sure everyone has heard of the Andes mints with a mint piece in the middle of two chocolate pieces. Well today, I helped my mom make homemade Andes mints! This is kind of a tricky process. First, we bought the chocolate from some lady, then you weigh out the right amount and melt it in the oven, green with green, and brown with brown. Once they are melted, you take a cookie sheet and pour the first layer of chocolate on the pan with wax paper under it. Make sure it's all even out. After it drys, then take the green middle layer and spread it out over the first layer, first adding 7 drops of mint flavoring. Wait for that one to dry as well and repeat with the last chocolate layer. Once all three layers have dried then you get out your tool to cut them into squares that will fit in the box that the chocolate lady provides. They taste SO much better than store bought mints!
