Description

These crisp pumpkin seeds get a glossy coat of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt, offering a playful mix of smooth sweetness and satisfying crunch in every bite.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt


Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.
  3. Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until smooth.
  4. Add pumpkin seeds to the melted chocolate and stir until all seeds are evenly coated.
  5. Use a fork to transfer the coated seeds onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the chocolate-coated seeds.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate has fully set.
  8. Remove from the refrigerator and break apart any clusters before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For extra flavor, roast the pumpkin seeds at 350°F for 10 minutes before coating.
  • Substitute white or milk chocolate for a different taste.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder to the chocolate for a spiced twist.
