I'm allergic to nuts, so I made these with sunflower seeds instead. They were still delicious!

I'm not usually a fan of spicy snacks, but these are actually really good. The sweetness of the chocolate balances out the heat of the chili powder.

Just made these and they are SO good! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi sweet and they are the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely will be making these again!
