Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares.
Step 1
Start by greasing a 9x13-inch baking pan to ensure your treats come out easily.
Step 2
In a large heat-proof bowl, place the puffed wheat cereal and set it aside for now.
Step 3
In a heavy saucepan, combine corn syrup, white sugar, unsalted butter, cocoa powder, and brown sugar.
Step 4
Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a rolling boil.
Step 5
Once it bubbles vigorously, take the saucepan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract for that delightful aroma.
Step 6
Carefully pour the hot mixture over the puffed wheat cereal, mixing well to ensure every piece is coated in that rich chocolate goodness.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly to create a smooth, even layer.
Step 8
Let the squares cool completely at room temperature, which can take anywhere from one hour to a full day, before cutting them into 24 delicious squares.
Step 9
Enjoy the satisfying crunch and chocolatey flavor of your homemade treats!.
