Add 4 tablespoons water and 32 marshmallow in saucepan. While constantly stirring, simmer until completely melted. Add chocolate; stir. Cool.

In large bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add chocolate slowly to cream and blend together with wooden spoon. Add vanilla and stir.

With cool cake, cut horizontally across, taking off a 1-inch top. Put aside top. Leaving a 1-inch inner and outer wall, cut around circumference of cake. Also leave 1 inch uncut on bottom. Remove in chunks inside of cake and put aside. Fill inside of cake with filling. Replace top. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
