Recipe developer Haley Polinsky grew up on a honey farm in Theodore, Sask., and always looked forward to coming home from school to find this classic prairie treat waiting for her. This is her mom's recipe, with a chocolate drizzle for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 7 cups puffed wheat or kamut puffs

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup creamed honey

  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Grease a 13 x 9-in. baking dish with cooking spray. Measure out puffed wheat into a large bowl. Set aside.

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring sugar, butter, honey and salt to a boil over medium. Boil for 2 to 3 min, stirring occasionally, until mixture is glossy and ingredients are thoroughly combined. Remove from heat and quickly stir in puffed wheat and vanilla.

  • Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Press gently into the dish using a piece of greased parchment. Refrigerate until set, 1 hr. Cut into 20 squares.

  • Add chocolate chips to a bowl. Microwave in 30-sec intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over cut squares.

Kitchen tip

To add even more chocolatey flavour to these squares, add 3 tbsp cocoa powder to the honey mixture in step 2.
