Puffed Wheat Squares


I grew up eating these, they are chocolatey goodness!

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
7-8 cups puffed wheat, plain not sugar coated
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Combine butter, syrup, sugar and cocoa in saucepan big enough to accommodate the ingredients. Stir and bring to boil. Add vanilla. Pour over puffed wheat in a bowl. Stir until everything is coated. Press evenly in a greased 9 x 12 inch pan. Cool. Let stand awhile to set before cutting. Makes 25 squares.
