Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk divided
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract divided (1/2 teaspoon per layer)
  • 1 cup candy-coated chocolate divided (holiday M&Ms, or Sixlets for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • baking sheet

Directions
 

  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with wax or parchment paper.
  2. Microwave half of the condensed milk with the white chocolate chips in intervals of 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring every 15–20 seconds, until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
  3. Spread into the pan, press in half of the candy, and let it set a little.
  4. Melt the semi-sweet chips with the rest of the condensed milk in the same way, then stir in the rest of the vanilla.
  5. Pour over the white layer, spread to the edges, and press in the rest of the candy.
  6. Let cool completely (about 1 hour in the fridge speeds it up), then cut into squares 1 to 1 1/2 inch wide.

Notes

Airtight at room temperature up to a week, refrigerated a couple of weeks, or frozen up to two months. Keep sealed while thawing so condensation doesn’t melt the candy shells.
