Directions

  1. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with a piece of parchment paper that is large enough to go up all sides of the pan.

  2. Combine oats, rice cereal, coconut, almonds, and cherries in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

  3. Combine honey, peanut butter, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until brown sugar is melted, continue to simmer for 1 minute more. Pour heated mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to fully combine. Stir in chocolate chips.

  4. Pour granola into the prepared baking pan and press firmly with a nonstick spatula or lightly oiled hands to tightly compact and distribute evenly throughout.

  5. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

  6. Remove from the refrigerator and slice into 20 equal portions. Tightly wrap individually in plastic wrap or serve immediately.
