Directions for Homemade Jar Gifts: Rocky Road Granola

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
2
Mix together the rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt in one bowl.
3
Heat the honey in the microwave for a few seconds to liquefy it. Mix together the oil, vanilla, and honey in a separate bowl.
4
Add a little of the honey mixture to the oat mixture. Mix using your hands. (Similiar to like you would a meatloaf, etc.) Keep this process going until all of the honey mixture is fully mixed in.
5
Lay a thin layer of the mixture on the cookie sheet. Bake for fifteen minutes before flipping with a spatula. Bake for an additional fifteen minutes on the opposite side. Cool completely.
6
Layer a mason jar with miniature chocolate chips, granola mixture, and miniature marshmallows. Repeat the process until the jar is full. Secure the lid on the jar.
