Cappuccino Bars

I've been wanting to make these bars for awhile now and finally got around to it today. I love anything with graham crackers or marshmallows and this recipe has both AND chocolate---so it had to be good! The candy-like bars have a slight coffee flavor and taste great straight from the fridge (I love cold chocolate!).
