In a small bowl, stir together the chocolate chips and marshmallows.

Stovetop S'mores
Don't have a microwave? Don't worry, you don't need to start up a campfire in the backyard — s'mores can also be made on the stovetop. Just melt the marshmallows and chocolate over low heat, according to the instructions for melting chocolate in Chocolate Chow Mein Clusters (page 264). Spread a portion of the chocolate over half the graham crackers and lay the remaining crackers on top, pressing down to make a sandwich.
