• With your greased spoon, stir until marshmallows are well mixed with butter, milk, and vanilla - there should be no lumps (it looks like marshmallow cream).
• Incorporate puffed wheat, making sure to coat all the cereal.
• Pour into prepared pan; cover with second piece of wax paper. Press FIRMLY into pan.
• Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• With the help of the paper, lift out and place on a cutting board or counter top; remove top layer of paper. Using a sharp, wet knife, cut into squares. If knife starts sticking, just re-wet it.
• Serve, making sure to remove any paper from the bottom.
• Keep refrigerated.
• * If you don't have a large enough microwavable bowl, you can put the puffed wheat into a regular bowl and pour the melted marshmallow over top. You will need a bowl containing at least 2 quarts to prevent marshmallows from spilling over.
