Chocolate Puff Wheat Squares, just the thought of them brings you back to the simpler times of our childhood. One bite into these chewy, chocolaty, sticky squares is like stepping back into mom's or grandma's kitchen.
Ever wonder how to recreate this recipe? Want to make foodie memories for your kids to fondly remember? Look no further. Here's an easy chocolate puff wheat square recipe to satisfy all your cravings:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Unsalted butter or margarine
1/2 cup Light corn syrup
1/2 cup Brown sugar
1/4 cup Cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla extract
7 cups Puffed wheat cereal ( so not put more or else squares will not be chewy )
Directions
- Lightly grease a 9 inch heatproof pan or corning ware platter with a little butter or margarine.
- Measure cereal and put in a large, lightly greased bowl, set aside.
- Melt butter/margarine in a medium sized pot.
- Add brown sugar to the pot and mix well until dissolved.
- Add cocoa and brown sugar. Mix until well blended.
- Bring mixture to a boil, constantly stirring. Do not let it burn.
- Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
- Immediately pour over puffed wheat. Mixing right away to completely coat all the cereal. I recommend you put the bowl of cereal in the sink to do this. This will avoid you having an extra sticky mess to clean up later.
9. Place cereal mixture in greased pan, packing it well.
10. Let cool completely and cut into squares.
Quantity: Makes 16 to 32 squares depending on the size you choose to cut them.
