J and I received some delicious hand-made truffles for Christmas from Gramma B and J's Aunt Leah. My favorites are the ones that Gramma B said they made because they had extra chocolate and just threw in nuts that were around the kitchen. I thought that was brilliant. Then, I got to thinking and came up with a simple not-terribly-unhealthy and very tasty treat.
Granola Chocolate Bunches
1/4 mug of chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
1-2 tsps milk* (I use almond milk)
~1/4 cup of granola (I have a fancy one with fruit and nuts in it)
* optional -- I use this if the chocolate takes a long time to melt
Combine the milk and chocolate chips. Melt them in the microwave. Every 30 seconds, take them out and stir thoroughly, so they don't cook too quickly. Once they're completely melted, start slowly pouring in granola. Add granola until it's all very well coated and there's a little extra chocolate (ie. you could put a little more granola in and it would get covered, but don't). Drop spoons full onto a sheet of wax paper and allow to dry. Once they're dry, peel them off the wax paper and place them in an air-tight container.
Easy, cheap and oh-so-tasty!
