Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups puffed wheat (see note)
1/2 cup dried cherrries, coarsely chopped (optional)
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup white sugar
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a 9x9 baking pan and set aside (you can also line the bottom of the dish with parchment paper to make removing the squares even easier.
  • Stir together puffed wheat and dried cherries in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine butter, corn syrup, white and brown sugar and cocoa powder together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat (mixture must come to a boil or the syrup will not set and your squares will fall apart). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Pour cocoa syrup mixture over puffed wheat and cherries. Stir until puffed wheat is completely coated. Press mixture into the prepared baking pan and let set at room temperature for at least an hour. Cut into squares and serve.
