A homemade granola bar with chocolate chips and nuts delivers more calories and better flavor than anything in a wrapper. Make a batch, snack all week.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
Toast the oats and mixed nuts on a rimmed baking sheet for 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even browning, then transfer to a large bowl to cool.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, peanut butter, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt, heating over low until the mixture is smooth and bubbling gently—stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Pour the warm syrup over the oat-nut mixture, add shredded coconut and dried cranberries, and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated and the chips are gently folded in last to avoid melting.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan using a spatula or your hands; bake at 350°F for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into bars.
