INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups puffed wheat

 

DIRECTIONS:

Measure out puffed wheat in a heat-proof bowl. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Set both aside.

 

Combine butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes before removing from heat.

 

Add vanilla and stir briefly to combine.

Pour the hot mixture over the puffed wheat and quickly stir to coat evenly.

 

Pour the coated cereal into the greased baking pan and use a damp spoon or hands to press the mixture evenly into the pan.

 

Cool and slice.
