Granola Chocolate Bark

Serving: 10

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups chocolate chips

2. 1 1/2 cups granola (I use Trader Joe's Almond Butter Granola)

3. 1/3 cup Peanut Butter

4. 1/4 cup avocado oil

5. Seat Salt to taste

Directions:

1. Melt the chocolate chocolate chips, peanut butter, and avocado oil on a medium-low heat. 

2. This should take about 2-3 minutes - make sure to not overcook or the chocolate will burn!

3.  Line a 13x9" baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray. I personally used a 12.5" pizza tray. 

4. Pour your chocolate spread in the pan. 

5. Sprinkle the granola and sea salt on top. 

6. Freeze for 1 hour.

7. Remove the bark from the freezer and break into bite size pieces using a sharp knife.
