Instructions

In a large, heat-safe bowl, measure out puffed rice and oats. Give it a quick mix and set aside.
In a medium-size pot, measure out butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is fully melted and the maple syrup comes to a steady boil. Continue cooking for 3–4 minutes, until the mixture looks glossy, thickens slightly, and the bubbles become larger and more consistent. Let it boil for 1 additional minute, then remove from the heat.
Pour maple syrup mixture over the puffed rice and oats and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare your pan and chocolate.
Line a 9x13 casserole dish with parchment paper or spray with oil.
Chop your homemade chocolate or measure out your Hu chocolate chips. Add the chocolate to your granola and mix in until evenly distributed.
*See note.
Pour granola into the casserole dish, spreading evenly to reach all edges, and press down to pack it together with a spatula.
Place granola bars in the freezer for 2 hours or the fridge for 4 hours before cutting into bars.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
