2 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips

1.  Spray 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.

2.  Put almond butter in large saucepan and cook, stirring, over medium-low hear until softened, about 30 seconds.  Add marshmallows and cook, stirring, until somewhat melted but still lumpy, about 2 minutes.
