Whatchamacallit candy bar recipe is about as close as you can get to the
real thing!
Ingredients
- 6 cups Peanut Butter Captain Crunch Cereal
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 11 tbs salted butter
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup light brown sugar
Instructions
For the Crunch Layer
- Coat an 8 x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray.
- Melt 3 tbs butter in a large saucepan
- Add 4 cups mini marshmallows stirring constantly until completely melted.
- Remove
from heat.Add 6 cups Peanut Butter Captain Crunch Cereal to the
marshmallow mixture and stir until all the cereal is coated.Turn that
mixture into your greased baking dish and use a piece of wax paper to
press the cereal mixture down.
For the Caramel Layer
- In
a medium sized bowl melt one stick of butter in the microwave. This
should take about 50-60 seconds.To the melted butter add your sweetened
condensed milk, light corn syrup and light brown sugar and whisk until
combined.Place your caramel mixture in the microwave and cook on high
for six minutes.You will know your caramel is done when you place a dime
sized amount into a cup of ice water and it forms a ball you can roll
between your fingers. If the caramel is too soft microwave it for
another 30 seconds. You want it the consistency of peanut butter.Allow
the caramel to cool in your mixing bowl for about 10-15 minutes so it is
spreadable.Spread the caramel mixture over the peanut butter cereal
mixture.
For the Chocolate Layer
- Melt your semi
sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler until smooth. Do not use the
microwave to melt your chocolate chips. It will pull the moisture from
the chocolate and cause it to seize up.I put my semi sweet chocolate
chips in a small sauce pot and place that small pot inside a larger pot
that has about a half inch of water in the bottom. Medium heat will
cause the water to simmer and melt the chips inside the smaller pot as
the damp heat flows around it.Once your chocolate has melted, use a
spatula to spread it on top of the caramel mixture.Slice. Enjoy!
