CHOCOLATE PUFFED-WHEAT SQUARES

I used to make a batch of these every two days for my cafe. They were extremely popular and always sold out. A delicious and light chocolate square that packs well in lunches. I like to make for Halloween treats by simply scattering Reese's pieces over the top and pushing into top of square while still warm in pan. Enjoy!

This recipe has been around longer than I have. It is one of those recipes that I never mess up. I make this for school lunches and press into muffin tins for perfect lunch-size pieces. It never lasts long in our house.
