Michelle of Bad Girl Baking chose this week’s TWD recipe and lordy, lordy… these were SO yummy!! 
It was like a Fall Festival in my mouth… I couldn’t stop eating them!!
I subbed chocolate & cinnamon chips for the raisins, used half regular granola & half spiced pumpkin granola and used walnuts instead of almonds… the result = fabulous! These are a definite must-try and perfect for a bake sale or a potluck at the office! I feel Autumn coming on…

I had the spiced pumpkin granola in my hand at the supermarket and put it back because I didn’t know how it would taste with my add-ins! Next time, I want to try it, by the sounds of your success! Nice – gorgeous pictures!
