Puffed Wheat Cake

Yeah that's right. Second post and I'm not pulling any punches, here. So let's go for the best foodstuff ever!

1/2 c. Margarine
1 c. Brown Sugar (doesn't matter if it's the golden stuff or the dark stuff)
1/2 c. Corn Syrup
2 tblsp Cocoa (love that yellow can)
pinch of salt

8 c. puffed wheat cereal (yep the plain stuff)

Equipment:
wooden spoon
saucepan
BIG mixing bowl
lasagna pan (9x13 or whatever casserole dish thing for the rest of you)

Put puffed wheat into a big mixing bowl. If you don't have at least 15cm or 3 inches to spare from the top of the puffed wheat to the top of the bowl, the bowl isn't big enough, try again.

In a saucepan: put in everything else. Over medium high heat let everything melt, stirring often in a figure 8 motion, and then come to a rolling boil. The whole surface should have bubbles forming on it; it will look something like lava. Let it boil like that for one minute. Count the seconds if you have to. Immediately after one minute, pour the hot lava mixture over the puffed wheat. Stir to coat and then press into a lasagna pan.

Attempt to let it sit until cooled and solidified. Let me know if you have enough willpower to wait that long. I never do. Also let me know if you can make a pan last longer than 2 hours, because that's another amazing feat.
