chocolate granola & macadamia nuts
Some things in life just put a big smug grin on your face, like nabbing the last roast potato, licking the cake bowl, or starting the day with our really yummy Chocolate Granola & Macadamia Nuts. We blend the very best oats, sunflower seeds and barley flakes with macadamias and lashings of Fairtrade dark chocolate pieces – made with 70% cocoa. We then gently bake it all in flapjack trays to make what we believe is the most extravagant granola you’ll find. Simple, but then the best things in life usually are.
a little bit about Fairtrade
We carefully source every single ingredient that goes into our cereals, and we searched far and wide for the best tasting Fairtrade Chocolate for both of our new Granola recipes. We’re really excited to be working with the Fairtrade Foundation and we hope to work closely with them on future recipes. For more information about Fairtrade, pop along to their website.
