How do I achieve the minty flavor in these thin mints?

You'll use peppermint oil in the filling, starting with a few drops and adding more until you reach your desired strength of minty flavor.

What gives the filling its green color?

A pinch of spirulina or matcha powder is added to the filling mixture specifically for a vibrant green hue.

What kind of molds should I use for shaping the mints?

Round silicone molds, such as muffin molds, are recommended for pouring the 1/4-inch thick filling mixture.

How do I make the chocolate coating for these raw thin mints?

The chocolate coating is made by mixing raw cacao powder, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup together in a clean mixing bowl.

How should I store these raw thin mints after they are made?

Once the raw thin mints are completely firm and coated, place them in the refrigerator to set and store them there to maintain their firm texture.
