Step 3: Pour the Milk Chocolate Mixture - Pour the melted milk chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate while preparing the white chocolate layer.
Step 4: Make the White Chocolate Layer - In another saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups of white chocolate chips with the remaining 7 ounces of sweetened condensed milk. Melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract and add green food coloring.
Step 5: Combine Layers - Pour the green white chocolate mixture over the set milk chocolate layer. Spread evenly and swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect if desired.
Step 6: Chill Until Set - Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours until completely set. Remove from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.
