¼ cup pumpkin seeds
Tahini Caramel:
¼ cup tahini
¼ cup maple syrup
1 squeeze lemon
1 pinch cinnamon
Boosters:
1 tbsp hemp seeds
6 dates, pitted

Instructions
Prepare the tahini caramel: In a small bowl, mix tahini, maple syrup, lemon, and cinnamon until smooth.
Blend the nuts & seeds: In a food processor, combine pecans, cashews, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and dates. Pulse until finely chopped and sticky.
Add the caramel: Pour the tahini caramel into the nut mixture and pulse until combined. The mixture should be sticky but moldable.
