Granola

This Granola is very easy, super yummy, and you can add whatever you want to make it exactly how you want it for way cheap! Another one of Aaron and the kids favorites. Aaron loves to take a large bag of it to work with him to snack on.

1 18oz old fashioned oats
1/4 stick of butter
1/3 cup of honey
1 Tablespoon of vanilla
small handful of brown sugar
your favorite nuts ( I like whole almonds and pecans)
dried fruit (I usually just use cranberries and blueberries)
M & M s or chocolate chips (or both :)

In a small sauce pan melt the butter, honey, and vanilla together on low heat. In a large bowl mix the oats, brown sugar, and nuts together with a little pinch of salt. Pour honey mixture over oats and mix well. Spread on a foiled lined cookie sheet and bake in a 325 oven for about 1/2 hour until crunchy. Stir occasionally. Let completely cool then add your fruit and chocolate. Have fun putting whatever you like in it! Obviously if you have nut allergies, you can make without them and it will still be pretty good. Store in an air tight container (I use zippies)
