Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring frequently until the marshmallows are completely melted. Off the heat, add the vanilla and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the rice cereal and stir until the cereal is completely coated with the marshmallow mixture. Stir in half of the chocolate chips. Allow the the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the remaining chocolate chips.
