Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Lightly toast the sunflower seeds in a frying pan. Add the cranberries and sprinkle over the sugar. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has melted and the mixture is sticky. Tip out onto the baking sheet and use a spoon to flatten into a 5mm thick rectangle. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat, add the cream and vanilla, and stir until thickened slightly. Pour over the fruit and seed rectangle and gently spread out to cover. Chill until set, then break into pieces to serve.
