Time 15m

Yield 24 squares

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
11 cups puffed wheat cereal

Steps:

  • Combine corn syrup, margarine, brown sugar, and cocoa in heavy sauce pan.
  • Boil for 5 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Add puffed wheat; stir.
  • Using buttered pans; pour mixture into greased 13 by 9 inch cake pan. Pat into pan.
  • Let cool; cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Choose the right puffed wheat cereal. Not all puffed wheat cereals are created equal. Some are more airy and light, while others are more dense and chewy. For this recipe, you'll want to use a puffed wheat cereal that is light and airy.
  • Use fresh marshmallows. Fresh marshmallows will melt more smoothly and evenly than old marshmallows. If you're using old marshmallows, you may need to add a little bit of water or milk to help them melt.
  • Don't overcook the mixture. The mixture should be cooked just until the marshmallows are melted and the puffed wheat cereal is evenly coated. If you overcook the mixture, the puffed wheat cereal will become tough and chewy.
  • Let the mixture cool completely before cutting it into squares. This will help the squares to hold their shape.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chewy puffed wheat squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or with added mix-ins, these squares are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give chewy puffed wheat squares a try.
