I followed the recipe exactly, but my sandwiches didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The chocolate was too thick and the peppermint flavor was overpowering.

These sandwiches are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.

I'm not a big fan of peppermint, but I really enjoyed these sandwiches. The chocolate is rich and creamy and the peppermint is just a hint of flavor.
