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.
