We present a theory of laterally coupled quantum Hall droplets with electron numbers (N1,N2) at filling factor $\nu=2$. We show that the edge states of each droplet are tunnel coupled and form a two-level artificial molecule. By populating the edge states with one electron each a two electron molecule is formed. We predict the singlet-triplet transitions of the effective two-electron molecule as a function of the magnetic field, the number of electrons, and confining potential using the configuration interaction method (CI) coupled with the unrestricted Hartree-Fock (URHF) basis. In addition to the singlet-triplet transitions of a 2 electron molecule involving edge states, triplet transitions involving transfer of electrons to the center of individual dots exist for $(N1 \geq 5, N2 \geq 5)$.
