  4. Remove from heat and pour liquid over nuts in the large mixing bowl.  Toss together until well mixed.
  5. Using a spatula, spread and press mixture to an even ¼” thickness on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes.  Cool completely before breaking apart into chunks. In a large bowl mix granola chunks with chocolate chips.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
