About Puffed wheat square

Puffed Wheat Squares are a classic no-bake treat originating from Canadian prairie kitchens. Made by combining puffed wheat cereal with a rich, sweet syrup typically crafted from brown sugar, butter, and molasses or corn syrup, this dessert is pressed into a pan and cut into chewy squares. While puffed wheat adds a light, airy texture and provides some fiber, the syrup mixture is high in refined sugars and fats, making this more of an indulgent snack than a health food. Perfect for potlucks or nostalgic comfort, these squares capture a balance of simplicity and sweetness, though portion control is key for mindful eating.
