Cashew Free Kiwi Lime Trail Mix Cups
Trail mix gets a serious glow-up here — toasted pepitas and sunflower seeds, crunchy walnuts, dark chocolate chips, and toasted coconut all come together in a snackable base that's genuinely satisfying. A quick toss with maple syrup and salt ties everything together with just the right balance of sweet and savory. The real magic happens when you layer on the fresh kiwi: bright, juicy slices drizzled with a zippy lime and maple mixture that cuts right through the richness of the nuts and chocolate. Torn mint leaves finish each cup with a cool, herby lift that makes the whole thing feel almost fancy. Because the recipe builds entirely from whole seeds, walnuts, and pantry staples, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden tree nut blends or shared-facility warnings — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. These cups work beautifully as an afternoon snack, a light dessert, or even a fun addition to a brunch spread.
