This may be my favorite flavor of granola I’ve ever made.
I used to get the target brand of chocolate granola and we would go through that little bag in two days. This puppy will last us a couple weeks.
Homemade granola is so easy to make, and so much cheaper than buying a bajillion bags each month! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Notes
Some of my preferred nuts for granola include walnuts, pecans and almonds in homemade granola.
