Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola from Heather Christo

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, tucked safely away with your families after last weeks terrors and sadness. I spent a ton of time with friends and family and was grateful for every moment.

And as a gift for you today, I have Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola. I have had this granola recipe in my back pocket for a couple weeks now. I don’t know what has been the delay in publishing it since it was so freaking good? (My mom, the girls and I had a real delight gobbling this up one day.) But then when I remembered that I promised you a whopper of a recipe for Monday, it is the first that came to mind.

When I say Granola, lets not get confused. This is not a “healthy breakfast” item. This is like a crazy indulgent freaking delicious anytime treat that I would say is in the breakfast department like, lets say, a donut would be?

I enjoyed several bowls with cold milk and fresh banana slices.
