3 cups oats |
1 cup oven-toasted crispy rice cereal (such as rice krispies) |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 cup honey |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (60 to 70% cocoa) |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 3oo degrees.
2. Cover a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Coat parchment paper with cooking spray.
3. Combine oats, rice cereal, brown sugar, chopped pecans, salt and ground cinnamon in a large bowl.
4. Combine honey and canola oil in a small saucepan over low heat; cook 2 minutes or until warm. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over oat mixture. Lightly coat hands with cooking spray. Gently mix chocolate mixture and oat mixture until combined. Spread oat mixture onto prepared jelly-roll pan.
