Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter.
Heat the chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt for added flavor.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and crisped rice cereal, making sure both are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly, pressing gently to create an even layer.
Allow the mixture to set at room temperature for about 2 hours or place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to speed up the process.
Once firm, remove from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 squares or your desired size.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
