These chocolate sunflower seed bites take two ingredients: raw sunflower seeds and Lakanto monk fruit-sweetened chocolate chips. The seeds toast in a pan until lightly golden, which gives every bite a toasty crunch, then get stirred into the melted chocolate and spooned into a silicone mold. After about 20 minutes in the freezer the bites are solid enough to pop out of the mold, and the recipe makes 10 low-carb bites in about 30 minutes. Serve them with a cup of coffee or as an after-dinner treat.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to toast the sunflower seeds?
Yes. Toasting the raw sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat until lightly golden brown is what gives the bites their toasty flavor and crunch. Stir often, because sunflower seeds go from golden to scorched quickly, then set them aside while you melt the chocolate.
Can I use regular chocolate chips?
The recipe is written for Lakanto monk fruit-sweetened chocolate chips, and the nutrition and net carbs on the card are based on them. Regular semisweet chips melt and set the same way, but the bites will have more sugar and the card’s nutrition will not apply.
How do I melt the chocolate chips?
Melt them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one, until smooth. Stirring between rounds keeps the chips from scorching.
How long do the bites need in the freezer?
About 20 minutes, until the bites are solid. Then pop each bite out of the silicone mold and serve.
