Dark chocolate granola with rice puffs

The best granola we have ever made. Crunchy (those granola clusters!), not too sweet and incredibly simple to make.

Dark chocolate granola with rice puffs
There are two things I need to address right now. 1.) This granola is incrediblyheavenlygood. It's actually the best granola we have ever made. Why? Because we finally made a granola that checks all the important granola factors (at least for our taste buds): it's super crunchy (those granola clusters!), it contains a delicious mix of nuts, it's not too sweet, yet it still has a fair amount of dark chocolate in it, plus it goes really really well with fresh berries and it's simple to make. Granola WIN! and 2.) Even though this granola is meant to be eaten for breakfast we can not help but to eat it for snack as well. It's just too good to resist. Truly. Plus a little bonus: It's a great healthy breakfast/snack on the go and great for kids that are going back to school soon. I think we just created the best breakfast ever. Yummy.
