Prep a rimmed baking sheet with a non-stick cooking spray(I prefer to use a misto which I just fill with oil). For this recipe you only need to spray half the pan.

Add oil, honey, sugar and salt to a medium sized pot on the stove and warm over low to medium low heat until melted.

While the ingredients on the stove are warming combine the rolled oats, coconut and cereal in a large bowl. Have chocolate chips ready.

When the ingredients on the stove have melted stir together until the sugar is dissolved then increase the heat to medium or medium high heat and cook until 260℉. Once 260℉ remove from the heat and add the vanilla. The hot mixture will bubble up so stand back! Stir together then pour over the oat mixture.

Stir together until everything is evenly coated then pour onto the prepared side of the baking pan. Spread out in 1/3 of the pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips as desired. Then take a soft spatula and firmly press down until the granola bars are tightly packed and smooth on top making sure they don't take up more than 1/3 of the baking sheet or they will be too thin.

Place in the fridge and chill for 1 hour or until chilled all the way through. To remove from the pan simple turn upside down and press on the underside of the pan. The granola bars should come away easily. Cut into small granola bars and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry location.
