- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut (optional)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
Spread the chocolate evenly on the lined sheet, about ¼ inch thick.
-
Add toppings — sprinkle almonds, cranberries, and seeds evenly, pressing lightly to adhere.
-
Finish with sea salt, then let it cool at room temperature until firm (or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes).

Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use only dry toppings to prevent spoilage.
Toasting nuts intensifies their flavor.
For a luxurious finish, drizzle melted white chocolate across the top before setting.
Let it set at room temperature for the best texture and sheen.
