CHOCOLATE PUFFED-WHEAT SQUARES
I used to make a batch of these every two days for my cafe. They were extremely popular and always sold out. A delicious and light chocolate square that packs well in lunches. I like to make for Halloween treats by simply scattering Reese's pieces over the top and pushing into top of square while still warm in pan. Enjoy!

PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES
I couldn't believe this quick snack was not a part of Recipezaar yet!! I grew up loving this and now my kids enjoy it too. I like to vary the sprinkles to match the season. Wilton has some awesome festive sprinkles that I like to use. Adding the cocoa will produce a chocolate flavour and omitting it will give a caramel flavour.Cook and prep time doesn't include cool time.

Steps:
- Combine cocoa powder, corn syrup, butter and brown sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly; add vanilla and stir, then pour over puffed wheat. Stir until we'll combined and then turn into a greased 9 x 13" pan. Press down; cool and cut into square

- Let the puffed wheat squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the puffed wheat squares in an airtight container at room temperature: The puffed wheat squares will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
