This is the classic puffed wheat square with a spicy twist. It pairs great with coffee and will have everyone coming back for ‘one more piece’!
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 cups puffed wheat cereal
Directions
Step 1
Butter a 9×13-inch pan.
Step 2
Heat brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and cloves in a saucepan over medium-high heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly. Bring cocoa mixture to a rolling boil; boil for 1 minute.
Step 3
Remove cocoa mixture from heat; stir in vanilla extract. Fold puffed wheat cereal into cocoa mixture. Pour cereal mixture into prepared pan; press evenly into the pan. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares, about 30 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
Using real butter rather than margarine for this recipe keeps squares softer after storage.
