Yields: 36 pieces

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can 14 ounces fat-free sweetened condensed milk, divided
2 pinches salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract divided
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
Red food coloring
36 conversation heart candies

Instructions:

  1. Line a 9×9” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. 2. Place chocolate chips and half the can of sweetened condensed milk (just over 1/2 cup) in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture melts together and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and one pinch of salt.
  3. Quickly pour and spread in prepared pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
  4. When chilling is up, remove pan from refrigerator. Add white chocolate chips and remaining sweetened condensed milk to a clean medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture melts together and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, one pinch of salt, and red food coloring (about 3-4 drops for a light pink).
  5. Quickly pour over chocolate layer and spread. Immediately top with conversation hearts in a 6 x 6 grid. Let cool to room temperature and then chill until set.
  6. Slice into squares (1 conversation heart per square) and serve.
  7. Note: depending on how equally you divide your SCM, one layer may be softer than the other. You may need to store this in the refrigerator.
