Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a 13-inch x 9-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a small sauce pan to medium heat. Add the coconut oil, honey, salt and vanilla extract. Cook 2 minutes until smooth. Remove from the burner and cool 5 minutes in the saucepan.
While the mixture cools, add the oats and cereal to a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Pour the ingredients from the sauce pan into the mixing bowl. Stir to combine. You need to get the oats and cereal thoroughly covered with the mixture.
Transfer the ingredients to the prepared baking sheet. Smooth into an even layer into the corners. Use another piece of parchment paper to push the mixture into the pan. This will help it stick together.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top then again use the parchment paper to push it into the bars.
Bake at 350 F 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature 20 minutes then place in the refrigerator a minimum of 2 hours to harden. I like to let mine set overnight to ensure they are fully set.
Remove from the refrigerator and lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into 18 bars.
Keep bars stored in the refrigerator. They will stay good up to 30 days.
