Start by dry roasting pistachios, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds on medium heat until crispy.

Ensure not to use high heat to avoid burning the seeds.

After roasting, remove the seeds and set them aside.

Next, dry roast flax seeds and sesame seeds separately, as they are larger and can burn easily if roasted together.

Once roasted, add chia seeds to the mixture without roasting them.

Transfer all roasted seeds to a large bowl.

Grind the roasted seeds in a blender to your desired consistency, either fine or coarse.

In a pan, add coconut oil and honey to the mixture, avoiding any sugar or jaggery for a sugar-free recipe.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Add dry coconut to the mixture without roasting it.

If desired, add cranberries and peanut butter for additional flavor and texture.

Mix everything well to ensure all ingredients are combined.

Melt dark chocolate in a pan over low heat to prevent burning.

Once melted, mix the ground seed mixture into the melted chocolate.

For decoration, sprinkle chopped pistachios and dry coconut on top and press them gently to adhere.

Place the mixture in a container and refrigerate for 5 hours to set.

Once set, cut into bars, and store in an airtight container.
