It's only fair to share...
My friend Vicki makes granola. It’s addictive, so it makes sense that it’s called My Favorite Indulgence. Let me tell you. There’s a chocolate one and I think I like it more than regular chocolate. It’s so addictive, I wouldn’t be surprised to see cops busting in on a granola party with Jerry Garcia, Charles Dickens, and Lindsay Lohan. That would be an odd party.
Seriously, I’m going to stock up on these. Fill my entire house with bags of My Favorite Indulgence. Then, get a star spot on Hoarders. I’ll be known as the crazy chick that hoards granola.
So it would only make sense to use the granola to make little, dainty edible spoons, right?
The spoons can hold a dollop of yogurt, or anything you like to eat your granola with. Fill shooter glasses with puréed fruit and whipped cream, then serve on a tray with the spoons. Awesome little party apps. Shoot, if you have kids these will work a lot better than the “airplane” method when getting them to eat. Edible spoon > plastic spoon we call airplane.
Did I mention I also have a giveaway? I will tell you a little more about that. In the meantime, check out the other raging-party-in-your-mouth flavors of My Favorite Indulgence by visiting their website here.

Here’s What You Need For Mini Granola Spoons
Ingredients
- My Favorite Indulgence Granola
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
Tools
- Miniature spoons
- Aluminum foil
- Optional: Shooter glasses
Yields about 6-8 depending on size of the spoons.
Pour granola into your food processor and pulse until granola is broken up into small pieces. Set to the side. This is  the pumpkin spice granola.
Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each tasting spoon and coat with a touch of oil.
Melt butter, honey and brown sugar in a sauce pan on medium low until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is boiling slightly.
Remove from heat and add in about 8-10 tablespoons of processed granola. You want it wet enough to mold together but still as close to dry as possible without crumbling and falling apart.
When mixture becomes just cool enough to handle, mold granola into each foil-covered spoon and pop into freezer.
Tip:
-If granola mixture hardens before you are finished molding the spoons, reheat on the stove on low to soften.
Turn oven on to 350 degrees. Remove granola on foil from appetizer spoons, and turn foil up around edges so it is now cradled inside. Bake spoons on a baking sheet for about 8-10 minutes. It will melt and bubble a little.
Once it is cool enough to handle, press your finger in to make a cavity so you may use your spoon to scoop and hold. You can also use a toothpick or knife to neaten up any messy parts of the spoon while it is still cooling. Store in fridge before serving.
Tip:
–Spoons should be served in cool temperatures, as they will fall apart and melt. I know this because my AC was broken. In Texas.Â
I’m going to buy a mini pony and feed it with these spoons. Yes.
Fill shooter glasses with yogurt or whipped cream and puréed fruit. Eat with your pinkie sticking up. I don’t know why, just do it, damnit.
Teehee.

my favorite cartoon growing up was gumby and pokey
thankxxxxxxx
Will a root beer count? I just happened to ber sipping on an IBC root beer when I opened this email! I’m not a big chocolate fan….GASP! I know, but I love some fall flavors. Pumpkin spice sounds delish and I also see a kid cooking project ahead with the spoon idea. Thanks..
I’m not posting for the giveaway (none of that stuff suits my dietary needs) but wanted to express sympathy for the AC being out. Ours was too…twice…with a three-week old in the house. O.o
I was never big on cartoons when I was young but loved The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, and Giligan’s Island. I would come home from school and sit and eat my snack and watch one of these shows. I did marry a man who loves cartoons, and I have found myself watching Dexter’s Lab, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Johnny Bravo.
I loved Three’s Company for its grown up humor that I probably never fully understood but thought I did!
I’ve always loved the Pink Panther. Cartoons and the movies. The cartoon was better to me then and now. He is just a cool panther.
Bugs Bunny rules! ‘sup, doc?
I grew up with gem – such a awesome show!
hmm let me think back bugs bunny
I grew up watching Roadrunner – my brother and I would laugh hysterically whenever Wile E Coyote was tricked 🙂

the Brady Bunch. 🙂

Father knows best was a favorite…..the kids always up to something!!!
My favorite old TV show was the Andy Griffith show. I loved Barney Fife!
My favorite TV show when I was growing up was “Are you afraid of the dark?” I guess that’s not much of a throwback, but it’s no longer on TV (such a shame!).
I loved the TV shows ‘Boy Meets World’ and ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ when I was younger! Such fun, easy-watching shows.
I loved watching the Snorks and the Gummi Bears! I’ve thought about trying to find them on Amazon or ebay to watch with my kids!

We spent many hours in front of the TV watching THE BRADY BUNCH! It was ahead of its time and funnier than screen doors on a submarine!

Ultra-Man in the late 60s/early 70s. It was a family dollar style version of Godzilla. It featured the worse dubbing on Earth. They didn’t even try to match the lips or number of syllables. I still remember the keyword – Hiyata!!!!!

Rug rats!!!
i loved watching goosebumps with my parents!
I grew to love Three’s Company with my mom when I was younger and Good Times with my dad; very old shows for me, considering I’m still in high school.
This will sound weird but we would watch “the frugal gourmet” with mom after school on PBS!
I loved watching Fragle Rock when I was a kid. I mean, how cool as it they lived under ground and could eat the buildings they made.
I liked the Andy Griffith Show. Always enjoyed watching Barney.

My fav cartoon was the looney tunes. Nothing like being enthralled with a storyline where no one talks. haha
I LOVED Mork and Mindy! Always made me laugh…still does! Thanks for the beer!
I was a huge cartoon fan. I’ve probably seen every Looney Tunes cartoon. Also, watching Ren & Stimpy was my first real bonding moment with my older sister, who is 11 years older than me.
I didn’t watch much TV growing up. We lived on a farm and were outside most of the time, riding bikes, etc. But, once a year, when The Wizard of Oz came on, I watched it. I remember being so scared!
I loved Land of the Lost when growing up. It was one of the first shows that I watched that was adventurous and exciting! 🙂
The Jetsons. I could just dream and dream some more about waking up a hideous creature then having my face ‘done’ in seconds…and let’s not even get into the instant manicure machine. WHY AREN’T WE THERE YET?
i grew up watching the brady bunch. i loved it then, although it seems a little silly now. but i can let my daughter watch reruns now and not worry about her seeing something inappropriate.
I grew up watching Fraggle Rock!
my favorite cartoon growing was rugrats! the babies were so cute and i would always pretend that i was LIL
My childhood staple stations were PBS and Nick(elodeon/at night). My mom had a great sense of humor, we loved “Are You Being Served” on PBS and Dobie Gillis on Nick at Night. Fun question! 🙂
I absolutely loved watching Rugrats when I was younger.
