Chocolate Granola Bark meets snack time! Rich dark chocolate, topped with crunchy granola takes this healthy Chocolate Granola Bark to the next level!

Homemade Granola is so simple and easy to make! Combine that with melted chocolate and we are onto something! Set and forget like our Slow Cooker Granola recipe. Or pressure cook to perfection like the Instant Pot Granola recipe. 

How to Make Chocolate Granola Bark?

My friends over at The Bircher Bar  recently sent me some absolutely delicious granola. Their Energy Mix is paleo, gluten free and simply delicious!! I used it for my Chocolate Covered Pears recipe and was amazed at how tasty it is! There is REAL macadamia nuts in it.

The combination of the crunchy texture of the granola pairs with the bitterness of the dark chocolate to give you a chocolate fix at snack time that also has health benefits!

I don’t know about you, but if I have a block of sweet chocolate in the fridge, I find it disappears FAST!! Dark chocolate lasts much longer around here and I think the fact that the dark chocolate is not as sweet means that you have your fix and are satisfied without overdoing it!

To make this recipe entirely VEGAN, you would need to make one change to the ingredients list and buy vegan chocolate (most local grocery stores sell it) instead of the regular dark chocolate. It is that easy!
