This looks so good - I think I could even get my daughter to eat this (and she's not a granola fan). The only hitch? I'd be up at midnight eating the whole batch in front of the TV.
Yummmy

I certainly hope there are many more moments of foolishness in your future xx

Haha, sometimes I think the whole blogging world is waking up to Molly's granola in the morning. And that's a good thing! It's my favourite recipe too - and you know what? I've never actually made it with chocolate! I use pecans and almonds and a really good quality cream honey and I find it doesn't need the chocolate at all. The only thing I don't like is that the crunch doesn't really hold up to milk. Hmm.

I was just checking for a new post, wondering if you'd made the chocolate granola yet, and here this is! Serendipity!

I am eating a bowl of it right now, having become thoroughly addicted. It is definitely not my breakfast, but makes a perfectly satisfying afternoon or evening snack, when I'm wanting something sweet and a little bit filling. I eat it out of a little teacup with a little teaspoon - to make it last longer, and well, so I don't feel so guilty when I go for seconds. See, we're all striving for our own ways to be virtuous ;)

I cut out the sugar, use a little more than half the honey, use melted butter instead of oil, and 70% chocolate. That's sweet enough for me! Yum, yum. Sensational in the true sense of the word.

Chocolate in granola? This would go so well over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, for dessert. In fact, I think I'll have to make some!

I also am not a fan of cinnamon in my cereal - but love cinnamon throughout! However, i'm an odd bird, i don't like chocolate in my cereal either. I like dried fruits and nuts. :) This does looks stunning though - maybe i make it as a snack and keep at work?

Love granola! I made some recently... why didn't I think to add chocolate!!!! Great thinking.

Ooh, I second the ice cream comment. Virtuousness is overrated!

Molly makes a different granola (feb '08 post) that is a little more virtuous, but just as yummy, as this one. Check it out!

So glad you liked it, my friend!
xo

P.S. I guess I should have warned you that it's addictive?

This granola looks heavenly good. Gotta try this one. It reminds me of the granola used in a new place in Tel-Aviv called Yogo, which makes the best yogurt ice-cream I ever had.

This looks wonderful and the ingredients are fabulous. I bet the smell was a amazing as it cooked.

I love how great this tastes, because I made the same recipe not long ago too!

mon dieu! Where have I been? I want to eat this for breakfast with everyone else!
Beautiful light in the photos...

Good grief. Chocolate granola? There is a plot afoot to keep me growing ever larger. And I can't say I'm all that unhappy about it.

Molly's French Chocolate Granola is the best! I've made it at least half a dozen times since she published it. And for a girl who is always on the look-out for the next new recipe, five repeats is saying a lot.

Strangely enough, along the lines of granola disasters, when I tried Molly's very first granola (Rancho La Puerta Granola), I was terribly disappointed. My batch came out hard, overspiced, and undersweetened. Because of this granola disaster, I was a little nervous about trying another Orangette granola, but it turns out the risk was totally and completely worth it. So you aren't alone in your granola disasters, Luisa!

must be gemma posing as an upstairs neighbour - cos I bet she liked this granola! Will try it some time but not sure I should!!! lol

I'll eat any granola with chocolate!

Yum, Luisa. I love the idea of chocolate! I'm late to the discussion but I'll add if you want to keep it super crunchy add a cup of grapenuts (before bakong) or for a less hearty taste try Rice Crispies (after baking)
Also to make even more virtuous, I split the honey half with agave nectar to make it less of a sugar shock to the system for the am. Agave is sweeter than honey and low glycemic.

I love all of Molly's recipes...this one included!

This is almost identical to the recipe I've been using for a while, only I use dried cherries instead of the chocolate. Now, thanks to you, I'll add the chocolate with the cherries. How bad can that be?

i made this last night - yum! i added some dried cranberries because, well, i like them.

Ok this looks amazing and I want some right now. I can not wait to try this. I am so happy I found your blog its so great. Check mine out some time, maybe I would be lucky enough to link with you, lol...
