Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels:

1 ½ cups peanut butter chips (237 grams)
1 ½ cups chocolate chips (237 grams)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz/300 ml)

Instructions:

Preparation: Line a 15×10″ baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips with half the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat if needed until smooth. Spread onto the prepared pan to about 1 cm thick and refrigerate.
Peanut Butter Layer: In another bowl, mix peanut butter chips with the remaining condensed milk. Microwave and stir as before. Spread carefully over the chocolate layer.
Chill and Roll: Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. Then, starting at one long side, roll up tightly, leaving the parchment behind. Wrap in plastic and chill for 2-4 hours.
Slice and Serve: Once set, slice the roll into pinwheel rounds. Serve chilled.

Storage:

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Freeze: Freeze for up to 3 months, using parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Variations and Serving Suggestions:

Mix and Match Chips: Feel free to experiment with different types of chips, like dark chocolate or butterscotch.
Flavor Add-ins: Consider adding mint, orange, or almond extract for a unique twist.
Additional Toppings: Nuts, crushed candy canes, caramel, or sea salt can add extra flavor and texture.
