Chocolate Puffed Wheat Bars

Chocolate Puffed Wheat Bars bring together a glossy cocoa syrup with crispy puffed wheat for a soft, chewy bite that’s rich yet light. The balance of brown and white sugar with vanilla gives a nostalgic, chocolate-forward flavor that holds together without being overly sticky. Perfect for potlucks, after-school snacks, or a no-bake dessert to share.

  1. 1

    Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Put the cereal in a large heatproof bowl.

  2. 2

    In a heavy saucepan, bring the corn syrup, white sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and brown sugar to a boil. Take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla; pour over the cereal and stir until very well combined.

  3. 3

    Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Let it cool completely before cutting into 24 squares, for at least 1 hour or up to one day.
