FERRERO ROCHER GRANOLA






As every year when the Holiday season arrives I like having cool ideas of edible gifts for my beloved ones. I think it's a nice thing to do, it shows you care and love them and they appreciate it a lot.


Don't know if it happens to you as well but when I think of Ferrero Rocher chocolates it reminds me of Christmas straight away. It's the typical treat that cannot be missed around these dates, that distinctive chocolate and hazelnut flavour... So that's why I got inspired to make this granola although you can of have it all year round, and of course it is made with non refined stuff, only nutritious and healthy ingredients. 


You probably have already noticed I'm quite a fan of glass jars and gifts with jars. On previous years I posted the apple butter recipe, also the chocolate truffles, there are so many options... I actually like using them because first of all they're made of glass which is a non toxic material, you can see what's inside, it preserves well, and after that you can give them another user like storing spices or other ingredients, pens and pencils, your toothbrush...



Plus, it's a non expensive gift since the jars are recycled, and I wanted to use stuff I have around the house to make it cute and pretty. I used some pieces of a sort of carton paper, some cord, a few dry eucalyptus leaves from an old bouquet, and the little brown balls you see that I found on the street underneath some trees.


This granola has become a big favourite at home, and given the little options of healthy muesli that we can find I started to make it myself, like this other with cranberries and walnuts that you can find on the blog. These amounts make 2 big batches so you will have either 2 big jars or containers or 5-6 small depending on the size.
They're made with gluten free cereal although you can use regular oats and others of your choice.
