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.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cocoa (optional)
8 cups puffed wheat cereal
candy sprinkles
Directions:
1. Measure puffed wheat into a large bowl.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan.
3. Add syrup, sugar, cocoa.
4. When mixture begins to boil, boil for 3 minutes and then remove from heat.
5. Add vanilla.
6. Pour over puffed wheat and mix well.
7. Press into a 9X12 inch cake pan.
8. scatter sprinkles while still warm and pat down to be sure they will stick.
9. Cool completely.
