Additional Ingredients for the No-Bake Version:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed peanuts, rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, and ground flaxseeds. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure an even distribution.
- Sweeten and Bind:
- Warm the honey slightly to make it easier to mix. Pour it over the dry ingredients along with the coconut oil. Stir thoroughly until all components are nicely coated and start to stick together.
- Add Chocolate and Season:
- Fold in the chopped unsweetened dark chocolate, ensuring pieces are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes to enhance the flavors.
- Forming the Dessert:
- For a no-bake version, line a tray or dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the tray, pressing it down firmly and evenly. Sprinkle the top with shredded coconut for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least an hour, allowing the mixture to firm up. This step is crucial for the dessert to hold its shape.
- Serving:
- Once set, cut the dessert into bars or squares. These can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for quick, energizing snacks throughout the week.
