Would it be possible for a planet to temporarily block another planets daylight consistently so that the nights seem longer than the days?

The planet I have in mind is slightly larger than Mars and is located in the system behind a planet about twice the size of Earth.

~~The effect being almost like a solar eclipse that happens daily (If that makes sense).~~

EDIT: I like the idea that they are not double planets but in separate orbits instead. Would this increase the possibility of the planet, which is the smaller of the two, and is further away from the system's star, having longer nights?
