I used dark brown sugar instead of the light and increased the butter by a halk stick. I also made mine with glazed walnuts, toasted almonds and coconut, dried berries, and macadamia nuts with the granola. It was FABULOUS! I tried it the original way the first time (no chocolate and it was good too. But by using the extra nuts it seems to be a great way to fill you up with healthy oils and fats instead of one of those "health meal bars". One 4x2 bar keeps me energized and satisfied.. MUST TRY!

I use my own granola and this is awesome. It's better than Emeril's peanut butter granola bars, sorry Emeril...
