Chocolate Puffed Wheat Square
This Chocolate Puffed Wheat Square is a classic dessert recipe made with whole grain puffed wheat and a sticky chocolate sauce.
Recipe: Ingredients
- 9 cups plain puffed wheat cereal (not the sugar-coated variety)
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2/3 cup dark corn syrup
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of sea salt
Recipe: Instructions
- Measure the puffed wheat cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
- Grease a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking pan and line it with parchment paper (if desired).
- In a medium pan on the stove, over medium-low heat, add the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
- Using a whisk, gently stir the mixture together as everything melts and comes to a soft boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture over the puffed wheat cereal. Stir everything together very well with a spatula.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Slice and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.

Can you substitute with Rice Krispies squares instead of puffed wheat?
I wouldn’t recommend it as puffed rice and puffed wheat absorb liquid differently so i worry that by making that substitution you’ll end up with crumbly squares.
Made them as they are one of my daughters favourite. So easy to do , I grew up eating them and I don’t really like chocolate .I made two pans and will be cutting up the 2nd to give away to friends .
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
