For graham cracker layer:
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup butter, melted
For chocolate fudge layer:
3 cups chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups condensed milk
For marshmallow layer:
3 packets gelatin
3/4 cup warm water

For chocolate ganache:
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup chocolate chips
For garnish:

Directions
1. Line a springform pan with
parchment paper. Use a second piece of parchment paper and line the
sides of the springform pan as well. Spray with nonstick cooking spray
and set aside.
2. For graham cracker layer: In a bowl, mix together graham cracker
crumbs and butter. Take about 1/3 of the mixture and spread it evenly in
the bottom of the springform pan, pressing down gently to create an
even layer.
3. For chocolate fudge layer: Then in another bowl, mix together
chocolate chips and condensed milk. Microwave for 3 minutes in intervals
until chocolate is melted. Stir until mixture is smooth and then pour
about 1/3 of the fudge on top of the graham cracker
layer.
4. For marshmallow layer: While the fudge is setting in a bowl, bloom 1
packet of gelatin in 1/4 cup of warm water until dissolved. Then mix
gelatin mixture into 1 container of marshmallow fluff until smooth. Pour
marshmallow mixture over the fudge and use
a spatula to spread evenly.
5. Place the entire cake in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set.
Repeat the entire process 2 more times, being sure to refrigerate each
marshmallow layer to set.
6. Refrigerate entire cake overnight to set.
7. For chocolate ganache: Heat heavy cream in microwave for 3 minutes
or until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes
to melt the chocolate. Then stir to make the ganache. Let cool slightly
until room temperature.
8. To assemble: Remove cake from the parchment paper cover and slide
onto serving platter. Pour chocolate ganache over the top of the cake,
letting excess drip down the sides. Garnish with marshmallow fluff, mini
marshmallows, toasted graham cracker chunks,
and chocolate chunks.
Enjoy!
