Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares

"MMMMMM... mom, can we have some more? A deliciously chocolaty square that packs well in little one's lunches.. (big one's too!). Enjoy!"

Ingredients :

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

Instructions :

Prep : 15M	Cook : 16M	Ready in : 45M

Place puffed wheat in a large bowl, and set aside. Grease one 9x9 inch pan.
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.
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.
