Steps:
- Place a roughly 9- by 9-inch sheet of parchment or wax paper on a cutting board. Set it aside. Lightly grease the baking pan with the cooking spray, and line it with a piece of parchment or wax paper that extends a few inches over two ends of the baking pan (you'll use these ends as handles to lift the candy out after it's set). Set aside.
- Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water and stir frequently with the heatproof spatula until melted and completely combined. (Alternatively, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring with the spatula between intervals, until the chocolate and coconut oil are melted and combined.)
- Add the peppermint oil and salt to the chocolate mixture and stir well with the spatula to combine. Pour the mixture into the lined baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Allow it to sit until firm to the touch, about 2 hours.
- Once the meltaways have set, run a sharp chef's knife along the unlined edges of the pan and lift the slab of candy out of the baking sheet. Gently turn it out onto the parchment-lined cutting board and cut it into 1-inch squares.
- Place the confectioner's sugar, in a small bowl and dredge the candy pieces in it until evenly coated on all sides.
- Store the meltaways in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Excerpted from The Liddabit Sweets Candy Cookbook (Workman) by Liz Gutman and Jen King.

CHOCOLATE MINT MELTAWAYS
from Bon Appetit Magazine, December 1990. Festive cookies spread with minted white chocolate and coated with dark chocolate. These have always been well received. The original recipe calls for piping the cookies out into ovals with the centers filled, but I found them very difficult to pipe, so I always hand-form them as described below. Also, I've always found that I can halve the ganache and have plenty for my taste. The chocolate coating amounts are just right.

MINT MELTAWAYS
This recipe comes from a Betty Crocker cookie cookbook my aunt gave me for a birthday present when I was a kid. It was my first "grown up" cookbook, and little did she know, she started my collection! I like these because they use butter mints and give a mellow minty taste to the shortbread. Prep time includes chilling time.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MELTAWAYS
My FIL sent me an email with about 200 cookie recipe links. This one sounds very interesting! I'm guessing at the prep time. **UPDATE 1/17/09** I finally made these and I have to say, they are pretty good! Sort of a sugar cookie with chocolate chips. DD loves them. I used a mini scoop and think I got about 5 doz (didn't count them).
