Roll out one portion of the chocolate dough into an 8x4-inch rectangle. Roll one portion of the green dough into an 8-inch log. Place the green dough along the edge of the chocolate dough. Roll the dough around filling and pinch the edges to seal. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining 3 portions. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
