Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed Chocolates

These easy, wholesome seed chocolates combine the crunch of toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds with rich melted chocolate and coconut flakes. They’re perfect for a quick treat, holiday gift, or a healthy-ish dessert. Use heart-shaped molds for a festive twist (like for Valentine’s Day) or keep it simple with spoonfuls on parchment. Customizable, craveable, and done in under 30 minutes!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8–10 minutes

Total Time: 20–25 minutes (plus chilling time)

Ingredients

Note: You can use any toasted seeds you prefer. I used Sunflower and Pumpkin seeds.

Directions

  1. Line large sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine and Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, and coconut flakes and toast in a frying pan on a low heat with a drizzle of olive oil for 5 - 8 minutes (until you can see a slight toasting).  
  3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a double boiler (bowl inside another bowl filled with boiling water).    
  4. When the chocolate is melted and the seeds and coconut are toasted, combine and drop spoonfuls on a lined tray.  Let set in fridge and eat when ready. 

Enjoy!

Keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For firmer texture, freeze for up to 1 month.
