Homemade Double Chocolate Granola
This crunchy, chocolatey granola is a treat that tastes like a dessert but works perfectly for breakfast.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about waking up to the smell of chocolate in the oven. My family loves this granola because it stays crispy and holds onto those delicious little chocolate clumps that everyone fights over.
My biggest tip for this recipe is to let it cool completely on the baking sheet without touching it. This is the secret to getting those big, crunchy clusters that make store bought granola look boring.
