Author Notes: For this very easy, no-cook recipe, I like to use my homemade granola, lightly sweetened and chock full of almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds. If I’m buying granola, my favorite is made by Early Bird Foods, readily available here in Brooklyn and online. This recipe will also work well with the additions/substitutions of almond butter, butterscotch chips, or some chopped dried fruit. —vvvanessa
