For Chocolate Bark: Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Finely grind mints in food processor. Place half of chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water.

Spinkle half of ground candies over half of chocolate. Fold parchment in half to seal candies in chocolate. Repeat with remaining chocolate and candies. Cover and chill 1 to 24 hours. Peel parchment off chocolate bark. Break or cut each sheet of bark into 6 irregular pieces, reserving any small pieces for garnish. Place 1 bark piece on plate. Spread scant 1/3 cup mousse over bark. Place another bark piece atop mousse. Spread scant 1/3 cup mousse over. Top with another bark piece. Place dollop of mousse atop chocolate and top with any smaller bark pieces, standing pieces upright. Repeat with remaining bark and mousse. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill. ) Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve napoleons with mint sauce. My note: The picture of this recipe shows the napoleons sitting atop the mint sauce which has been carefully spooned in swirls on to the plate.
