Yum, great treat! And I love that it is scaled to a small batch. I used homemade granola that already had almonds in it, so I followed a previous reviewer in just increasing the amount of granola. I ended up with ten clusters. Due to some unseasonably warm weather, I finished up the process in the fridge after finding them still soft after three hours - worked great. Thanks for sharing!

Great little (kinda healthy) snack! I made them almost bite size so I got 14 clusters out of the batch. The granola I used had sliced almonds in it so I just added a little extra cereal so it would balance out the amount of chocolate. Made for Best of 2011 Cookbook Tag.

WOW, these are so rich, chocolately, and delicious. And they take all of about 3 minutes to throw together (not including the 1 1/2 hour resting time). I used a scoop of Recipe #460101 - which we always have on hand for cereal, and used sliced almonds instead of chopped. Found myself sneaking back to the tray to get another taste more than once. Yummy, thanks you Lalaloula! {Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag}

Well, as soon as I tasted one of these wonderful munchies from the 1st batch I made, I knew I had to double the recipe & make enough for my other half to share at one of his weekly meetings! Definitely a keeper of a recipe, as these are so wonderful & so addictive! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
