Notes

To make these "prettier:"
  1. Add additional marshmallows to each piece and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, or in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 5 minutes watching closely. 
  2. To brown the marshmallows, use a kitchen torch, if desired.
  3. Add additional pieces of chocolate bar.
