Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the miniature marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the marshmallows are puffed and slightly melted.
Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir the crisped rice cereal into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture until well coated.
Carefully spread the cereal mixture over the puffed marshmallow layer, gently tamping it down to create an even topping.
Let the bars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Once firm, cut into squares and serve.
