Shortbread Bars (Edit recipe)

Granola is a great way to mix it up in the kitchen and put a fun twist to classic recipes. Any of our Paleo Sunrise Series granola blends can be used as a substitute for nuts or chocolate chips to transform any recipe into something stunning! For this recipe we've started with Kale Junkie's Pecan Chocolate Chip Shortbread Bars and swapped out pecans for our Paleo Sunrise Series; Hu Chocolate granola for a delicious, gluten-free, vegan desert you will want to bookmark for later! We love making a double size batch of this incredible delicious desert to enjoy all week long or share with friends and family.
