HEALTHIER CHOCOLATE PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES



Healthier Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares image

I love chocolate, and I love being healthy and fit. So i've come up with a compromise- a delicious chocolate puffed wheat square reduced in sugar and fat. I've made this recipe with 2 oz. of 72% cocoa chocolate and 6 squares of Lindt 99% cocoa chocolate... but i'm sure you could play around with different chocolate bars to get a preferred chocolate taste.

PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES

I couldn't believe this quick snack was not a part of Recipezaar yet!! I grew up loving this and now my kids enjoy it too. I like to vary the sprinkles to match the season. Wilton has some awesome festive sprinkles that I like to use. Adding the cocoa will produce a chocolate flavour and omitting it will give a caramel flavour.Cook and prep time doesn't include cool time.
