Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares

This recipe is one I found at all recipes but I altered it. My daughter is very picky and her class had a bake sale and she liked them. I searched for a recipe the same and found this one. I made it larger to fit a jelly roll pan as I like large recipes. Hope you like this too.
