Take the yellow cake mix and ingredients needed, and bake two 8″ round cakes. Allow to cool and place on cooling racks.
Add a layer of Hershey’s chocolate frosting on top of the bottom round.
Sprinkle a layer of graham crackers over the frosting.
Take the second cake and add chocolate frosting and sprinkle the top with graham crackers, but leave in the 8″ baking pan.
Place the marshmallows on top of the cake and then place in the oven with the broiler on to melt the marshmallows.
Keep a close eye on this so you don’t burn the marshmallows! Just let them get a nice light brown.
Allow the cake and marshmallows to cool again. Then carefully remove the cake from the pan onto a cooling rack.
Place the cake with the marshmallows on top of the cake with the frosting and graham cracker layer.
