Chocolate for breakfast?! You bet!
This was actually one of those happy accidents, where you set out to make one thing and it becomes another…
These were meant to be energy bars for running, but something went wrong with the consistency and they just kept on crumbling.
Nevertheless – the result was some seriously awesome, energy-boosting low carb chocolate granola.
