Puff wheat squares are my fav!
The way my grandma makes them is just too much for me to handle... I can sit
and eat the whole tray of them, unless someone comes and rescues the squares
from me ;)
They're a simple, easy and unoriginal idea, but hey... They're so good!

Never heard of them?? Yikes! You should try them! They're by far my fav
treat.
I'm on the phone with Grandma right now! ;) She's getting me the
ingredients and directions and all that right now.

Ingredients:
1 C Margarine
1 C Syrup (Pancake syrup, maple syrup, "golden beehive syrup" is what my
grandma said she uses often, but ANY type of syrup will do just fine)
1 C Sugar (1/2 white, 1/2 brown, but 1 cup of white sugar works fine if
that's all you have)
3 Tbsp Cocoa

14 C Puffed wheat

Boil margarine, syrup, sugar and cocoa on the stove. Mix often - just until
it starts to bubble. Take off stove and put aside to cool just a little
bit. As soon as you take the mixture off the stove, allow to cool about as
long as it takes you to measure 14 C of plain puffed wheat.
Pour the boiled, and somewhat cooled, mixture onto the puffed wheat. The
bottom of your pot should still be hot, but not so hot that you cannot touch
it with your hands.
Mix it with your hands (yes, it's a sticky, gooey mixture, but fun!) and
then put it into a cake pan. You'll need a cake pan that's at least
12"x10", or 2 smaller cake pans. Be sure to put some foil or wax paper at
the bottom of the pan(s) and put the puff wheat into the cake pan, pressing
down firmly with your hands. Allow it to cool - on the counter is just
fine - and then you can cut and eat.
You can also add extras, like raisins, nuts, Smarties, chocolate chips,
etc., and you add that in when you are measuring the puff wheat, BEFORE you
pour in your mixture of margarine, syrup, etc. Then just keep going as
normal.

It's fairly easy, doesn't take long, and I'll tell you, I love them!
They also freeze really nice if you make too much and want to store for
later. They thaw out really nicely and still taste really good.

Hope the directions make some sense... Real easy to make, and really
inexpensive and fast!

Thanxs Kat,
Hey these sound like a fun something to do at the daycare with the kids
!
I volunteer a couple days a month, do crafty things and since cooking
is my *thing* I have done a few fun snacks with them. I'll let you know
how the kiddos like the sticky fun and the product of their efforts! Bev

Am i too late for this? I bet i am aren't i?
We find that mini jellies are fun to do for bake sales. We make up the jelly
as normal then pour it into small plastic cups. Sometimes we put little
sweets in the bottom and sell them with a plastic spoon so they can eat them
there or cover them with cling film so they can take them home :)

<Chuckle> Around here thoughts like that could land someone in jail (
Since most of the car washes are done by High school students )

However along those same lines;

How about a "Babes of ASS-P" Calendar? ( You old timers may remember
this thread :-) )


Seriously though, how about a lottery? We use a system based upon NY's
daily drawing which is a 3 digit number. You sell 1,000 tickets
numbered 000 to 999 for about $5.00each. The ticket is good for 1 month.
I'd have to do check through some records, but I think we netted close
to $1,500 after all payouts.

Another group is selling raffle tickets at $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00
with a $300.00/200.00/100.00 payoff ( there are close to 5,000 tickets
out ) even if you only sold 1,000 there would be a profit of $500.00

Hummmmm......you live in Texas, I'm not sure what your lottery laws are,
so this may not be valid where you live
