Mix until fluffy and smooth. Spread evenly over the first layer.

• In a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat mix the sugar and milk together. Bring to a boil and cook for exactly 8 minutes (this registers as the soft ball stage on a candy thermometer, if you are using one).
• Remove the mixture from the heat and add the butter and marshmallow creme and stir until smooth. Add the chocolate and mix until melted (if the mixture looks "broken," beat with a wooden spoon or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer until smooth and fluid).
