Start by getting your crunch layer ready- just like Rice Krispies.
Coat an 8 x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray or butter.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
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. Don't smash the cereal but you do want it tightly packed to accommodate the other two layers.
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- be careful not to burn!
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 so it spreads evenly.
Allow the caramel to cool in your mixing bowl for about 10-15 minutes so it is spreadable.
Pour over the cereal mixture in an even layer.
Melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler until smooth.
Once your chocolate has melted, use a spatula to spread it on top of the caramel mixture.
Slice and enjoy!
