How to Make Puffed Wheat Treats
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- While the syrup is boiling, butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, prepare 6 cups of puffed wheat cereal.
- Pour the hot syrup mixture over the puffed wheat and stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the cereal pieces.
- Quickly transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or spoon to press the mixture evenly into the pan.
- Let cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
