Unlike traditional granola, this bark is pressed thin and broken into pieces, offering a more delicate crunch. The inclusion of dried fruits and nuts is more prominent, providing distinct bursts of flavor and texture in every bite. It's designed for immediate enjoyment as a sweet treat rather than a breakfast cereal base.
