Puffed-Wheat Squares

text and photo by Julie Van Rosendaal

Did you know puffed wheat squares are a Canadian prairie thing?

Though plain, unsweetened puffed wheat is traditional, you could really coat any type of cereal with the chocolatey goo.

It's delicious with a handful of salted peanuts stirred in, too.

The puffed-wheat square (or puffed-wheat cake) was invented in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, by candymaker Alan J. Russell over a century ago.

Ingredients

8-9 cups puffed wheat

½ cup butter

½ cup corn syrup or Roger's golden syrup

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup cocoa

pinch salt

1 tsp vanilla

½-1 cup chopped peanuts (salted or unsalted, optional)

Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray and put the puffed wheat into it. I included a range in the measurements because I scoop it out with a measuring cup and each scoop inevitably winds up a tad on the heaping side.

In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa and salt to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until smooth.

Once it comes to a boil, cook it for a minute, whisking constantly. Don't cook it for too long, or the squares will be crunchy instead of chewy.

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour over the puffed wheat and stir to coat evenly.

Press into a parchment-lined 9x13-inch pan and leave at room temperature until set. Don't refrigerate — the fridge could make them crunchy instead of chewy!

Makes: About 20 squares.

That's Cillian Murphy, Graham Norton, Alan Cumming, and Russel Brand at the 2006 GQ Men Of The Year Awards. Always love a photo with a random mix of some favorite celebs. This one scores 3/4—care to guess which one didn't make the cut?

#NationalComingOutDay

I was terrified of doing it and then it happened all of a sudden, not of my own volition. I was about twenty two... I think I was visiting home from college, and one night my Mum was making tea and she suddenly said, "You've got a lot of friends - that are girls but you never seem to have a girlfriend", - adding, "Are you not interested in girls?", and I said, “No”. That was it. Easy... so I thought. Star Trek - The Next Generation was on that night and my Mum said, "Wesley Crusher, he's a good looking boy isn't he", and I went, “Yes”. I remember the incredible liberation. It was like shrugging off something from my shoulders. I was able to just say it.

you're telling me that Push the Button was supposed to play on the jukebox as he took Ruby on her first trip in Space Babies and that's why he kept saying it throughout the episode..... I am devastated.
