- 5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Marshmallow Whipped Cream Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the marshmallow creme and continue whipping until fully combined and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Layer
- In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly but remain pourable.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
- In a 9×13-inch dish, create a base layer using honey graham crackers. Break crackers as needed to cover the bottom completely.
- Spread half of the marshmallow whipped cream mixture over the graham crackers, smoothing it out evenly.
- Pour half of the chocolate layer over the marshmallow cream, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
- Repeat the layers: graham crackers, the remaining marshmallow cream, and the remaining chocolate.
- For a decorative touch, sprinkle the top with pieces of chocolate bar.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy the gooey, chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness in every bite!
