Pulse chop into small pieces sunflower seeds. Then finely chop nuts. Add it to the bowl. Add cacao powder to the bowl. Mix all ingredients. For best taste, dehydrate for 12-18 hours on 150-160 F and then store in freezer. The balls can be frozen without dehydrating, but it won’t get a chewy texture and also must be eaten straight from freezer. When dehydrating before freezing, the balls can be taken out of freezer and will still taste good hours later.
