PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES
I couldn't believe this quick snack was not a part of Recipezaar yet!! I grew up loving this and now my kids enjoy it too. I like to vary the sprinkles to match the season. Wilton has some awesome festive sprinkles that I like to use. Adding the cocoa will produce a chocolate flavour and omitting it will give a caramel flavour.Cook and prep time doesn't include cool time.

Steps:
- Measure puffed wheat into a large bowl.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the squares will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcook the sugar mixture: The sugar mixture should be cooked until it reaches the soft ball stage, which is about 235-240 degrees Fahrenheit. If the mixture is overcooked, the squares will be hard and brittle.
- Grease the pan well: Before you pour the mixture into the pan, make sure to grease it well so that the squares don't stick. You can use butter, cooking spray, or parchment paper.
- Let the squares cool completely: Once the squares have been cooked, let them cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help them to set properly.
