Directions
Greas a 9x13-inch pan with butter to keep the squares from sticking. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir everything constantly until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Let it boil for about a minute. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Then, gently fold in the puffed wheat cereal until it’s all nicely coated. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and press it down evenly. Let it cool completely, which should take around 30 minutes, before slicing into squares.
Best Pairings For This Dish
Serve these squares as a quick snack with a hot cup of coffee or tea. They are also great for lunchboxes or casual get-togethers. For extra fun, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Storing Leftovers
Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and crunchy. They will stay good for up to a week. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make them hard and less enjoyable.
