I got this idea from a lady online and tried it recently. It was delicious. I do have a kitchen scale to weigh out the candy bars, but you should be able to chop up the candy bars to get 2 cups. The recipe calls for 12oz and I used a 12.8 oz bag of Snickers Bar mini candy bars and ended up removing about 2 or 3 of the bars to get the 12 oz. This recipe is just basically a marshmallow fudge recipe that I have converted into a candy bar fudge recipe.
I am giving this fudge away as gifts. My plan was to cut the fudge up into squares and put them in round gift tins that you can purchase just about anywhere. Then my daughter Emily had a great idea. She suggested lining the gift tins with saran wrap and just pouring the fudge into these instead of the 9x9 pan. How easy is that! 
Then we both had the idea that you could probably do two layers.. just put wax paper and maybe another layer of saran wrap over the first batch and pour the second batch on top after the first batch has chilled.. that way the recipients has more than one type of fudge to enjoy.

4 Cups mini marshmallows
2/3 cup milk (I used half n half but evaporated milk would work and regular milk would probably work too)
1/4 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups (12 oz.) chocolate semi-sweet morsels – I used chopped up candy bars in place of the chips as stated above
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine marshmallows, milk, butter, sugar and salt in a large cooking pot. While stirring bring to a full boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue stirring and boiling for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla and candy bar pieces (which ever you are using). Stir very well until candy bar pieces are melted. Pour into a 9x9 pan that has been buttered. Chill.
