I first came across this delicious square in high school chemistry. We were learning about measurements and, to teach us about how important accuracy in measuring was, we cooked! Each member of the team was asked to bring an ingredient and Mrs B. brough the puffed wheat. It was the best chemistry class that I can remember. Chocolately goodness in minutes, its the perfect lunch box snack.
Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 TB cocoa
5 cups puffed wheat
Over medium heat, melt the margarine. Add corn syrup, brown sugar and cocoa and let the mixture come to a boil. After 1 minute, take it off the heat and add the puffed wheat. Pour mixture into an 8″ x 8″ pan and cool before cutting it into squares.
