DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES

SWEETS
Written By CHARMAINE ZILINSKI

These SUPER chocolatey, chewy & gooey puffed wheat squares are just the way I love my favorite childhood treats. They aren’t your run of the mill, crunchy and cheap on chocolate ones found too often out in the world. I don’t make them often as I am likely to hoard and eat the entire pan myself. 

INGREDIENTS 

  • ⅔ cup butter

  • 3/4 cup corn syrup

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2/3 cup cocoa, heaping if you like it very chocolatey

  • 1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

  • 8 cups puffed wheat cereal

DIRECTIONS 

  • Grease or line with parchment paper, a 9x13 inch baking pan

  • Add the butter, corn syrup, chocolate chips, brown sugar and cocoa in a large pot over low-medium heat.

  • Melt everything together while stirring gently.

  • Bring the mixture to a gently boil. Allow to boil for only 1 minute. Remove from heat.

  • Stir in the puffed wheat cereal.

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down. I usually use a metal spatula to do this.

  • Allow to set at room temperature for at least an hour. Cut into squares.
