Calling all chocolate lovers! I found a new way to get a chocolate fix. Chocolate granola!
I adapted this recipe, tried it, and then two days later I found that Trader Joe’s had a chocolate granola. Then I found a gluten free chocolate granola in another store. So glad I made homemade a few days earlier! Homemade is fun! Homemade is less expensive! Homemade is easy!
Once you try this, you will make this over and over again! I know I have! It makes for a great snack! Better print this out!

Keep that far away…I wouldn’t put it past me to eat the whole batch!
Hear ya…but I think it’s better than eating chocolate chips out of the bag like I sometimes do!
I added some coconut and walnuts..yum
Wow! You are fast at making things. Sounds like good add-ins!
