Chocolate Granola Crunch

Ingredients:
• 3 cups regular oats
• 1 cup Cheerios
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup slivered almonds
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• ½ cup dried cranberries

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together oats, Cheerios, brown sugar, slivered almonds, salt, and cinnamon. In small saucepan, stir together honey and canola oil. Cook until warm over low heat (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate until smooth. Drizzle over oat mixture. Coat hands lightly with nonstick cooking spray and gently mix chocolate mixture and oat mixture until combined. Scoop out mixture onto large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread evenly. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Stir in cranberries once granola is baked. Place on wire rack until granola has cooled completely.
