contents We determine the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein module of the connected sum of two genus one handlebodies over the ring of Laurent polynomials $\mathbb Z[q^{\pm 1}]$, thereby proving a conjecture posed by the first and third authors. Our results lay the groundwork for computing the Kauffman bracket skein module of arbitrary connected sums over the ring $\mathbb Z[q^{\pm 1}]$.
