Prepare a 9x9" pan with cooking spray and line with a strip of aluminum foil. This makes it easier to remove the granola from the pan later on to cut into cubes or bars.
In a small saucepan, combine the salt, vanilla, honey and peanut butter. Heat until the peanut butter melts, stirring often.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cereals, coconut, almonds and dates; mix to combine.
Pour the peanut butter mixture into the cereal mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour the mix into the prepared pan and press down firmly into the pan. If the granola is not pressed firmly, it will crumble later on instead of forming bars.
Freeze for a 2 hours or overnight to set.
Remove from the freezer and cut into bars or squares.
