Raw sunflower seed and macadamia halva with lime and carob (sunflower seeds, macadamia nut butter, carob powder, lime juice, coconut, sea salt, agave nectar).
DB: It's really easy. You have to soak the sunflower seeds for a couple of hours to soften them up a bit. Grind these first in a food processor until you have a nice ball of sunflower seed butter, basically.
Then put everything else in the food processor and blend (takes maybe two minutes). The coconut (because it's dessicated) and the carob powder (because it's dry) tends to absorb moisture as you're grinding. Once it's blended, you just press it into a container and chill for a few hours until it firms up.
You could swap the sunflower seeds for walnuts and then you wouldn't have to soak. Walnuts will give you more of a buttery texture (so, a little more like fudge than halva).

are these dried or what is the process?
