Puffed Wheat Cake - Attempt 2

Last week the PAA 9 class had some extra time so we decided to try make puffed wheat.  Since the whole event was very rushed the cake turned out less than desirable.  So today we took our time and made the cake the correct way and it was good!

Puffed Wheat Cake

8 cups puffed wheat cereal

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup corn syrup

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup butter or margarine

1. Place puffed wheat in a large bowl, and set aside. Grease one 9x9 inch pan.
2. Grease the rim of a medium saucepan to prevent boil-over. Place the cocoa powder, corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter or margarine in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until mixture comes to a full boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, and then remove from heat.
3. Pour chocolate mixture over puffed wheat, and stir until puffed wheat is evenly coated. Using a buttered spatula, press mixture into the prepared pan. Allow to cool, then cut as desired. Wrap squares individually, or store in an airtight container.
