Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, puffed rice cereal, chopped almonds, and unsweetened coconut flakes. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond butter and honey. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and completely combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the vanilla extract and sea salt. Stir to incorporate.
Pour the warm almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Fold in the soy-free dark chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Transfer the granola mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spatula or a piece of parchment paper to press the mixture firmly into an even layer.
Refrigerate the granola bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set.
Once set, remove the bars from the baking pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 even bars.
Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
