Chocolate Lunch Box Treats

My grandmother used to make me Puffed Wheat Squares.  Little bits of fluff bound together with gooey chocolate taffy wrapped in plastic wrap until I was ready for it.   The removal of wheat from the diet kinda removed the key ingredient in that favored treat.    A few quick switches and VOILA!  The tradition is now in MY sons’ lunch boxes with their glee!

Chocolate Puffed Rice Squares
Ingredients
  • 8 cups puffed wheat cereal
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine
Instructions
  1. Place puffed wheat in a large bowl, and set aside. Grease one 9×9 inch pan.
  2. Grease the rim of a medium saucepan to prevent boil-over. Place the cocoa powder, corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter or margarine in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until mixture comes to a full boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, and then remove from heat.
  3. Pour chocolate mixture over puffed wheat, and stir until puffed wheat is evenly coated. Using a buttered spatula, press mixture into the prepared pan. Allow to cool, then cut as desired.
  4. Wrap squares individually, or store in an airtight container.
