Cocoa Puffed Wheat Squares

Sometimes the easiest recipes make the yummiest treats.  This is easy to through together at the last minute and has always been one of my favourite guilty pleasures from childhood.  Strangely enough I always thought they would be hard to make.
I remember having it as a snack at an ex's parents house and asking his mom for the recipe.  I was surprised how easy it was to make and it is pretty easy to clean up after making it too.
Growing up we would always have rice crispy squares but I always hated having to scrub the pot afterwards to remove the marshmallow goo.  As long as you soak this pot, it is really easy to clean.
