This is a deliciously healthy snack bar packed with almonds, dark chocolate and cranberries. What’s maybe just as important is how easy they are to make. Learning how to make cranberry almond granola bars is almost as fast as it is to make them. Seriously, these are so easy to make you’ll wonder why you didn’t try them before.

I can’t take credit at all for this creation. My husband likes granola so much he asked if I’d make one with dried fruit for him. We went to the bulk food section and he looked around like a kid in a candy store as he picked out the cranberries and almonds. I must admit, he made a fabulous choice as these have been a favorite among those that have eaten the granola bars I’ve made.

If you like granola bars you will love to find out they are quick to make, bake and absolutely delicious. Once you learn the basics, they are so customizable, you’ll be thinking up all kinds of combinations. Perhaps something like honey pecan granola bars would be a good choice for you?
