chocolate granola balls

a sunny afternoon in my backyard with chocolate.

if there is any sweet treat i love, it's chocolate.
those who know me well know that i have a dark chocolate bar stashed in my purse at all times. 24/7. go ahead and check. i'll share. ♥

this is an extremely quick treat to make in a pinch and the results are heavenly.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/3 cups vegan chocolate chips (look for "unsweetened"/"pure" chips, they are usually vegan)
  
• 2 cups granola, any kind
• dried cranberries
  
  + add in any other favourite dried ingredient kicking around such as raisins, hemp hearts, flax, or currants
  

Preparation:

Line a baking tray or large dish with wax or parchment paper.
On low, heat the chocolate chips until melted, always stirring . Remove and gradually stir in the granola.
Drop by spoonfuls or get in there and get messy, making one tablespoon balls.
Place in the refrigerator and allow to cool before serving.
