Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ⅓ cup corn syrup
• 8 cups puffed wheat cereal
• ⅓ cup butter or margarine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place puffed wheat in a large bowl, and set aside. Grease one 9x9 inch pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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