Chocolate & Peanut Butter Granola

My chocolate and peanut butter granola is crunchy, smokey and gorgeous. I make a big batch of this on a Saturday morning, and it lasts all week, plus it scents the house with the cosiest warm scent. It is just what I need weekdays after an early gym session to replenish energy levels. I prefer not to add dried fruits but rather to add fresh berries and fruit as I eat.
