Microwave about 30-45 seconds, or until the white chocolate is beginning to soften and melt. Don't microwave too long or graham cracker will burn.
Transfer graham cracker with white chocolate to a baking dish or cookie sheet and place a marshmallow on top of the white chocolate.
Place under broiler for approximately 90 seconds to 2 minutes. watch carefully and remove when marshmallow puffs up and begins to brown. don't let over-brown or your graham cracker will suffer! If you prefer your marshmallow a bit more toasted, use a kitchen torch to brown the edge.
Spoon smashed blackberries onto top of toasted marshmallow and top with remaining graham cracker.
Serve immediately.
