I want S'MORES!!!!!!

So I have had this recipe for over a year and have been avoiding making them because I knew I would want to eat the whole pan!  Then this spring I was introduced, by a friend, to a delicious version of s'mores from a bakery near my home.   I vowed I would find a recipe to make their version.  I still put it off for a few months due to a "I'm trying to lose weight and trying to be good" thought process.  Then my ward had a Labor Day picnic.  It was a cold day.  The perfect excuse for a yummy end of summer tribute of s'mores.  Wow.  They were so good.  So good that I made them three weeks later for a Mommy & me activity days activity. Then again the next day for a friend.  And I'm making them again today for a general conference snack.  yes, that is 4 times in one month.  So ridiculously good! 
So I got the recipe from the blog, www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com I changed it a little, but only in assembly to make them look a little more like the s'mores I got from my local bakery. I use the crisco to keep the bar part softer longer and use a special chocolate made in Ohio by Malley's.  Their break apart chocolate fits into an 8x8 pan perfectly.  The Hershey's bars are good, too.  I have seen recipes using chocolate chips, but I think that it would be difficult to spread the marshmallow on top of shifting chocolate chips.  Feel free to experiment though!
