Ingredients
3/4 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
1 cup toasted, unsalted, shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a small pot over low heat, melt the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
- Mix in Pumpkin Seeds: Stir in 3/4 cup of the pumpkin seeds, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping. Mix until all seeds are evenly coated.
- Form Clusters: Scoop small spoonfuls of the chocolate-seed mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.

Notes
Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
For extra flair, drizzle with white chocolate or top with shredded coconut or crushed pretzels.
Freeze for 20–30 minutes for faster setting.
Store between layers of parchment in the fridge to prevent sticking.
