Gently spread 1/3 of marshmallow mixture over layer of graham crackers followed by the remaining pudding. Place a layer of chocolate graham crackers, cover all edges evenly.

Prepare chocolate whipped cream -- beat the cream on med high for a few minutes until bubbly. Add 2 T powdered sugar and 2 T sweetened cocoa powder; beat until stiff peaks form. If whipped cream is too bitter, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar. Place in refrigerator for 2 - 4 hours to set.
