Chewy Puffed Wheat Squares
Some days I think chewy puffed wheat squares are better than rice krispie squares. They have all the crunch and sweetness of their counterpart but with that creamy cocoa flavour! YUM! My take on the ever popular recipe has a little less puffed wheat cereal and a little more sticky stuff to make them extra chewy. Perfect for the school lunch box or a weekend treat. I hope you enjoy!

Recipe Notes
You can store cut squares in an airtight container for up to 5 days but chances are they won't last that long anyway. I've made 3 batches for this blog post in the last 24 hours alone. Thankfully I have 5 other people living here to help me eat them.
