I think my instructions will end up involving... "cup your hands around your eyes, press to glass, and stare into the microwave...watch for bulging..." And I like chocolate covered graham crackers, too, but I'm not crazy about making chocolate-covered cookies... Crumbs/fat residue get into the chocolate, so whenever I have leftover chocolate when I cover the shortbread in my malt bar with chocolate, I get rid of the chocolate -- it's too crunky. So, I try to temper just was much as I need (it's harder to keep a small amount of choc in temper), and it's... just a pain. So the s'more bar may have to wait until I can find the brighter side of it.... It could happen. :) Minutes?! :) Yeah, I think that the marshmallow is also a little different — mine turn into a more foamy goo fairly fast.
