This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual granola recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my granola came out burnt. I think I'll try again with a lower oven temperature.

This granola is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate, but I really liked this granola. The sweetness of the oats and the crunch of the nuts balanced out the bitterness of the chocolate perfectly.
