Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a buttered pot, combine white sugar, brown sugar, molasses, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer. |
| 2 | Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, it should form hard, brittle threads when dropped into cold water. |
| 3 | Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until well combined. Remove the pot from the heat. |
| 4 | Pour the hot mixture over the puffed wheat cereal in a large bowl, ensuring all the cereal is coated thoroughly. |
| 5 | Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it’s comfortable to handle. |
| 6 | With lightly buttered hands, roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. |
| 7 | Alternatively, press the mixture into a 13 x 9 inch pan and cut it into squares once it has cooled and set. |
| 8 | Enjoy your delicious Puffed Wheat Balls 1983 with friends and family, and savor the memories of this timeless treat! |
Tips:
- Be careful when cooking the sugar mixture to avoid burning. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
- Work quickly once the mixture reaches the right temperature, as it will start to harden rapidly.
- If you prefer a different cereal, feel free to experiment with substitutions, but keep in mind that it may alter the texture and flavor of the final product.
Serving Suggestions:
These Puffed Wheat Balls 1983 are perfect for packing into lunchboxes, serving at parties, or enjoying as a midday pick-me-up. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot cocoa for the ultimate treat experience.
