MICROWAVE COOL WHIP and chocolate in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after each minute. Cool 5 min. Meanwhile, cut each cake horizontally in half.

TOP cake with marshmallows; broil 1 to 2 min. or until marshmallows are golden brown. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.

If cake is too high for your broiler, assemble cake on serving plate but do not add top cake layer. Place remaining cake layer on baking sheet; spread with remaining COOL WHIP mixture and top with marshmallows. Broil as directed, then carefully place over stacked and filled cake layers on plate.

Use serrated knife to cut the assembled cake, dipping knife in hot water before using to cut each piece.
