Step 1
Start by greasing a large bowl and a 9x13-inch baking dish to keep things from sticking. Pour the puffed wheat cereal into the greased bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the marshmallows, brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder, and butter. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until everything melts together and it starts to bubble. Once smooth, take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour this chocolatey mixture over the cereal and mix well until all the cereal is coated. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish and let it sit for about 10 minutes to set. When it’s firm enough, turn it out onto a clean surface and cut into squares with a serrated knife. Wrap each square in plastic wrap or keep them fresh in an airtight container.
