Generously grease a 9x13-inch pan.
Stir sugar, marshmallows, milk, butter, and salt together in a large saucepan over medium heat; simmer until mixture reaches soft ball stage, 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Add cherry chips and vanilla; stir until melted.
Pour mixture into prepared pan, and let cool until firm.
Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes; pour over cherry mixture and spread evenly. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
