Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Tip:
Enjoy on its own as a snack, or sprinkle over yogurt or non-dairy ice cream for an extra crunch!
Wine advice:
For this Peanut Butter and Chips Granola, since it’s a sweet and nutty treat, you’ll want a wine that complements those flavors without overpowering them. A good option would be a late harvest Riesling or a Moscato, both of which have sweetness and a hint of fruitiness that pair well with the peanut butter and chocolate. These wines bring out the sweetness of the agave or maple syrup while balancing the nuttiness of the granola. Enjoy!
