Description
Those that love chocolate for its slightly tart notes will love this hearty granola for its dense crunch and subtle sweetness. Desirable as it is nourishing, chocolate granola is the perfect accompaniment to a strenuous hike in the high country, or a long-term sweet tooth. Cracked rye is the secret of the recipe, with its slowly released nutrients. Chocolate needs cheery company and whole hazelnuts encrusted in granola are a classic duo popularized in Europe around the 1500’s when confectioneries combined the two to create Gianduja, a Nutella-like, but more delicious chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Figs predate all grain cultivation, which makes them the oldest sources of nutrition known to man and play a large part in development of civilization and religion. Inside the fig you find a sweet and nourishing food. As you treat yourself, be sure to chew your way thoroughly through this hearty chocolate granola!
