Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares

Ingredients

• 8 cups puffed wheat cereal
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.33 cups corn syrup
• 0.25 cups packed brown sugar
• 0.33 cups butter or margarine

Instructions

1. 1

   Place puffed wheat in a large bowl; set aside. Grease a 9-inch square pan.

2. 2

   Grease the rim of a medium saucepan to prevent boil-over. Place cocoa powder, corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter or margarine in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until the mixture comes to a full boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, and then remove from heat.

3. 3

   Pour chocolate mixture over puffed wheat and stir until puffed wheat is evenly coated. Using a buttered spatula, press the mixture into the prepared pan. Allow to cool, then cut as desired. Wrap squares individually, or store in an airtight container.
