Place the oats, cereal, coconut and chocolate chips in a medium size bowl and mix the ingredients together.Place a saucepan over medium heat and melt the coconut oil or butter.Add the honey, and brown sugar. Cook ever medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a boil.Turn to low and cook for another 4 minutes, continuing to stir.Remove from heat and stir in the salt, vanilla and the cherries.Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl.Mix well.Spoon the mixture into a 8 or 9 inch square pan that has been lined with parchment paper or foil. If using foil spray lightly with cooking spray.Press the mixture very firmly into the pan. I like to use the bottom of my glass measuring cup to do this.Place in the fridge for at least two hours before cutting into bars.
