Line a 9x9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Stir the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
Add the marshmallows to the chocolate mixture and gently stir until the marshmallows are fully coated but not melted.
Fold in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring it is evenly coated with the chocolate-marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the top for added flair.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the Chocolate Marshmallow Crunch to set.
Once set, remove from the baking dish and cut into squares or rectangles for serving.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
