Line an 8-by-8-inch pan with parchment. Roughly chop the pistachios. Chop 3 tablespoons of dried cranberries, reserving the rest for another use. 

Step 2 

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup peanut butter, ⅔ cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla, if you have some on hand, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 2½ cups rolled oats, along with the chopped pistachios and cranberries, mixing until well combined.

Press the mixture into the prepared pan and top with another piece of parchment. Use a measuring cup to evenly flatten the bars, pressing into the corners of the pan.
