- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions
- Start by preparing a 9×13 inch baking dish. Lightly grease it with some butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and mini marshmallows, if using. Mix until the marshmallows are completely melted and well combined.
- In a large bowl, pour the puffed wheat. Carefully pour the hot syrup mixture over the puffed wheat, and use a spatula to combine everything. Ensure that all the puffed wheat is evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula, press the mixture down firmly and evenly into the dish. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or sprinkles on top while the mixture is still warm.
- Let the puffed wheat cake cool completely at room temperature before cutting it into squares or bars.
