Homemade S'MORES BARK

Melt a pound of MILK chocolate. Break up graham crackers. I use one sleeve from a box per recipe. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and then spread the chocolate on that. Immediately put marshmallows and crushed up graham crackers on top. Lightly press into chocolate. Put in refrigerator to chill for at least an hour. Done!!
