"Tastes just like pumpkin spice and is so addictive! Don’t buy your granola at the store when it’s so easy to make it at home. Found on Wine and Glue and must save"

I'm so sorry, Bonnie - but I followed the directions exactly and I burnt the heck out of it. I checked half way through and there was no color change, then when the time was up, it was very dark and the pecans were black. I can't believe I didn't smell it burning. I will try this again and check the time more frequently! I think the squirrels will think they're having a feast tomorrow!
