3 TBSP Hemp seeds 

1/4 tsp Himalayan Sea salt

1.5 TBSP Sunflower butter (or sub any other nut butter)

1/2 TBSP Coconut oil

Soak the dates in water, about 1-4 hours.  Remove the pits.

Store coconut oil at room temperature.

Mix dates in a food processor until a ball forms. Remove and set aside.

Add pumpkin seeds to the food processor, pulse into a fine meal. 

Add cacao, hemp seeds and sea salt. 

Pulse a few more times to combine. (Don’t overmix or it will turn into butter.)

Add the dates back in. 

Add the sunflower butter and melted coconut oil, mix/pulse to combine. 

It should be a dough-like mixture. 

If it’s too wet, add a little more cacao powder or hemp seeds.
