Kitchen Sink Puffed Wheat Squares

Just looking at these you can see where the inspiration for these Kitchen Sink Puffed Wheat Squares came from. Partly crushed candy canes, a few smarties, dregs of pretzels and nuts and bolts, a few chips left in the bottom of a bag (who does that?); it’s the holiday season when there’s a lot of snacking going on.

So, I decided to clean out the pantry and throw everything but the kitchen sink into a batch of ooey-gooey puffed wheat squares. I know there’s lots of recipes for Kitchen Sink Cookies out there but I was craving the chewy, chocolate-y-ness of good old puffed wheat squares. They were a hit with my team, family, and friends. I hope you enjoy them as well.
