1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade cocoa candies? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Dry cocoa powder is desirable to take high-quality, for example, the Golden Label. Poor-quality cocoa may not completely dissolve and crunch unpleasantly on the teeth. You can take cream of any fat content. I have 20% Part of the butter can be replaced with coconut oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the flax seeds, pumpkin and walnuts into the blender bowl. You can take any sets of nuts and seeds. Grind them to a state of fine crumbs. If you want to grind even more, you can grind the flax and pumpkin seeds separately in a coffee grinder.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour 50 g of cocoa and sugar into a saucepan.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add cream and stir. Place the saucepan over medium heat and, stirring constantly, bring the cream and cocoa to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the fire.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the butter to the hot chocolate mixture and stir until completely melted. The mass will thin out a little.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add chopped walnuts, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds to the chocolate mass.

8. Step 7:

   

   Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. The mass will strongly thicken and become viscous. Cool the mass completely. In winter, I take the saucepan to the balcony, and in the summer I put it in the refrigerator. The colder the mass, the less it sticks to the hands. If the mass remains liquid even after cooling, add a little more mixture of crushed pumpkin seeds, flax and walnuts to it.

9. Step 8:

   

   Use your hands to form the resulting chocolate mixture into even round balls about the size of a walnut or slightly smaller. Roll them in the remaining cocoa powder (10 g).

    Send the resulting sweets for 2 hours in the refrigerator for complete solidification. Enjoy your meal!
