Place three Kit-Kat bars on a plate as follows; 1 whole bar, 3 bars with 1 section removed, 1 upside down, 1 right side up. Cut the third bar in half and remove on section from each half. Place on each side of the plate. Pipe melted chocolate on each end of the upside down Kit-Kat and place a cut half upright on each end. Pipe more chocolate on the tops of each half and place another Kit-Kat bar on top. Pipe more chocolate on top of back edge of the box and place a marshmallow on the two front corners. Place the whole Kit-Kat on top, resting on the marshmallows. Pipe lines of chocolate on the box and add gold sprinkles for decoration. Once set, remove the marshmallows and chill.
