Dark Chocolate Chunk Quinoa Granola Bars

Ingredients:

1 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup quinoa, uncooked
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup shredded coconut (mine was sweetened)
½ cup toasted wheat germ
3 tablespoons coconut oil, measured out while hard (at room temperature)
⅔ cup honey (some vegans will eat honey, others won't, so keep that in mind!)
¼ cup dark brown sugar, packed
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped pitted dates (I like smaller fruit chunks, so I chopped these pretty finely)
¼ cup dried cherry craisins
½ cup dark chocolate chips (if vegan, make sure you're purchasing vegan chocolate chips)
