Choco-Peanut Pinwheels
from: "EAGLE BRAND Holiday Magic in Minutes"

prep time: 15 mins
chill time: 2 hours

1 C (6 oz) peanut butter-flavored chips
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 C (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 t vanilla extract

Cut waxed paper into 15x10 " rectangle; butter paper.

In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt peanut butter chips with 2/3 C milk. Cool slightly. With fingers, press evenly into thin layer to cover waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.

In heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips with remaining milk. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Spread evenly over peanut butter layer. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Beginning at 15" side, roll up tightly, jelly-roll fashion, without waxed paper. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.

Chill 2 hours or until firm. Cut into 1/4" slices to serve. Store covered at room temperature. Makes about 1 1/2 lbs.

PS:I don't have a picture, but they look like cinnamon rolls, with the peanut butter on the outside. Soooo good!
