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.
