Peppermint and chocolate is a winning combination in this sweet confections treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, divided
• 1 cup vanilla or white chips
• 3 teaspoons peppermint extract
• 2 to 3 drops green food coloring

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with 3/4 cup condensed milk over low heat, stirring occasionally. Line an 8-in. square dish with waxed paper; butter the paper.

Spread half of melted chocolate mixture into pan; chill for 5-10 minutes (let remaining melted chocolate mixture stand at room temperature).

In another saucepan, melt vanilla chips. Stir in remaining condensed milk until smooth. Remove from the heat; add extract and food coloring. Refrigerate until set. Spread over chocolate layer; spread with reserved chocolate mixture. Refrigerate until set. Cut into 1-in. pieces.
