Ingredients
1 cup (150g) Sunflower seeds

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the sunflower seeds, maple syrup, and salt until well combined.
- Use a cookie cutter to shape the mixture into bite-sized pieces. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons into the cutter, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon. Carefully remove the cutter.

Notes
For a different flavor, you can substitute sunflower seeds with pumpkin seeds or other nuts like almonds or cashews.
If you prefer more sweetness, add a little more maple syrup or drizzle extra chocolate on top.
You can also toast the sunflower seeds before mixing to add a crunchy texture.
