Next combine milk, butter and cocoa and add this mixture in half portion of dough to form chocolatey dough. Let the dough chill.
Next form two thick rectangles ( one with Vanilla and one with chocolate). Cut each rectangle into 4 similar size pieces and then combine one vanilla, one chocolate and stack another two on top ( use all pieces.) you can just press these pieces together or you may use egg wash.
