   Be very careful and don't leave unattended or it will burn.
4. 4
   Combine cake mix, the other 1/3 cup milk, and softened butter in a bowl until just combined (just holds together).

   Press 1/2 of the cake mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350F for 6 minutes.
7. 7
   Remove the pan and sprinkle with the chocolate chips and if desired, the marshmallows.

9. 9
   Crumble the rest of the cake mixture over the top.
