How To Make puffed wheat squares

Step 1

Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, add butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder and salt. Stir until everything is well combined. When it starts simmering, let it bubble for 2 minutes.
Step 3

Remove from the heat and add vanilla; stir well. Add the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
Step 4

Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down evenly using a spatula or place parchment paper on top; remove the paper and discard it.

Let it sit at room temperature until completely cool, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Cut into squares and serve.
