Keep a cookie sheet with foil and set aside. In a large saucepan over low heat melt 1-3/4 cups milk chocolate chips and all of the peanut butter chips and stir frequently, until smoothened. Another way of melting the choco chips is to place a large bowl full of the chips in a microwave on medium power for 5 minutes and stir once while cooking. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup of the milk chocolate once you have removed the mixture from heat and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth as it helps temper the chocolate so it will stay solid at room temperature.
