Directions

1. 1

   Place the mint leaves on the sheet, face down, about 2 inches apart.
3. 3
   Melt the chocolate over a water bath.
4. 4

5. 5
   Working carefully, place another sheet of acetate or baking mat (smooth side down) over the first one.
6. 6
   Gently press down directly on top of each leaf to spread the chocolate around the leaf, making a border about 1/4-inch wide all around (don't worry if they're not very neat).

   Let set at least 1 hour, until firm.
8. 8
   Gently peel off the acetate.
9. 9
   Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
