December 05, 2011
"Going through family cookbooks can make for many surprises, just this week found another of my mom's recipes for Puffed Wheat Squares. This one is larger than the one I have been making all these years, perfect for our growing family! Recipes for Puffed Wheat Squares are likely in every family cookbook across the prairies, yet seldom seen in my collection of Community Cookbooks. Another of the recipes that brings back many wonderful childhood memories, a recipe that often varies from family to family. Mom's recipe posted for my family, as well as for anyone wanting a delicious easy to make old fashioned square. "

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Warm puffed wheat: Measure puffed wheat into a small roasting pan or large oven proof dish. Warm in a 300 degree oven (just long enough to warm the cereal) set side
Step 2
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and cocoa. Mix and bring to boil over med heat, stirring constantly simmer approximately 3 minutes (until bubbles are shiny - timing very much depends on your burner heat)
Step 3
Remove from heat, add vanilla. Pour over the warmed puffed wheat. Mix well.
Step 4
Pat into a 9 x 13 buttered pan. (I use a spatula to get every last drop) Cool and cut in squares. Find cutting the squares before they completely firm makes for easy slicing
