Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy.
Gradually mix the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Don’t overbake!
Remove the brownies from the oven and immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the pan to the oven for 2–3 minutes, until the marshmallows are soft and slightly puffed. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter together over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
Remove from heat and fold in the rice cereal until fully coated in the butterscotch mixture.
Gently spread the butterscotch Rice Krispie layer evenly over the marshmallows using a spatula. Be careful not to press too hard to preserve the marshmallow layer underneath.
Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for an additional 1–2 hours to set the layers.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
