    Well, friends. Here I am with another revamp of an old recipe. This one is from waaaaay back. Like the 3rd recipe ever posted on Rhubarbarians. WHOA WHOA!

    It's a recipe that I come back to every year though. I make a giant batch and give it away as gifts over the holidays. I know, I know, the holidays are over (noooooo!), but I made the recipe even better this year and shot some new photos that aren't like, totally embarrassing.

    So, here's my gift to you: the best granola you will ever taste.

    Have you tried our super chunky pumpkin granola?

    So, OBVS this tasty stuff is the best served just like cereal. In a big bowl of milk. It's like eating a bowl of cookies and milk for breakfast. And I mean that literally.

    This is NOT your healthy, everyday granola. You guys. Butter, chocolate, sugar. Need I say more? You MIGHT snack on all this before it even makes it to your bowl though. Mmmmm....

    My husband says that it's like a granola version of the hello dolly. You know what? He's totally right! Coconutty, chocolatey, nutty, sweet, salty. OMG. Next year I'm going to label this hello dolly granola. ?
