- Handful of goji or other dried berry to decorate
Instructions
- Place coconut and pumpkin seeds in a food processor and pulses for about 30 sec until the pumpkin seeds look more nest like.

Notes
Feel free to use another seed other than pumpkin seeds, and all butter instead of coconut oil. This recipe is a great one for experimenting - apricot, dates, sunflower seeds and figs would all taste good in this!
