Instructions:
In a medium pot on the stovetop, bring the brown sugar, honey, coconut oil, and salt to a boil. Boil for 1 minute.
Add in the peanut butter and vanilla. Stir.
Put the oats and Rice Krispies in a large mixing bowl. If you're adding any of the optional ingredients, mix them in.

Let sit for 5 minutes or so.
Spread parchment paper onto two cookie sheets.
Lay the granola bar mixture on the parchment paper.
Press a second cookie sheet on top to flatten. Sprinkle chocolate chips over and press again.
Cool in the fridge. Cut.
Freeze flat on the tray. When frozen, transfer the granola bars to freezer bags, remove the excess air, seal, and freeze again.
