Great recipe. Quick & easy, not to mention tasty. I took the advice & cooked mixture a couple minutes longer. If you like your puffed wheat squares a little chewy'r, you can cut back the wheat by 1/4 cup. I used agave for the corn syrup and loved it. Thanks for sharing.

That`s the stuff! Thank-you, I was looking for this recipe. Just a note, I find that the cake holds together better if I let the mixture boil for about 3 minutes.
