Ingredients
- 11 cups puffed wheat warmed in oven
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
How to Make
-
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
