Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to create the chocolate base. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the base is firm.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately scatter the mini marshmallows evenly over the hot chocolate base. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed but not browned.
While the marshmallows cool, prepare the chocolate drizzle by melting the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the butter together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the marshmallow layer using a spoon or piping bag. Let the bars cool completely in the pan, then transfer to the refrigerator for 1 hour to set fully.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
