Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the fresh sunflower seeds evenly on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Set up a double boiler. Add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir gently for about 5 minutes until melted.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until blended.
  4. Fold in the toasted sunflower seeds until well-coated in the chocolate.
  5. Scoop 1-inch clusters onto a lined baking tray, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  6. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes until the bites firm up.
  7. Once set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
