4 oz dried cherries, chopped
4 oz dried banana, chopped
2 oz coconut flakes
2 oz blanched almonds, chopped

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line a 13 x 10 inch shallow baking dish with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the molasses and sugar. Stir in the oats, cherries, banana, coconut and almonds. Heat gently for 2 mins. Transfer to the baking dish and pack down firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 12 mins and cool in the pan.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. Cut the granola into small cubes and dip each in the chocolate to coat it partially. Place on a sheet of parchment paper to set.
