Step-by-Step Instructions for Crunchy Chocolate Granola Bark
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line an 11x17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
  3. Add rolled oats and sliced almonds to the mixture and stir until fully coated.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet, pressing firmly to make a dense layer.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the baking sheet.
  7. Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled granola and immediately add your desired toppings.
  9. Once the chocolate has set, break the granola bark into pieces and store in an airtight container.
