These little chocolate cups are the kind of treat that looks like it came from a fancy confectionery but comes together with a handful of wholesome, straightforward ingredients. Dark chocolate with over 70% cacao gets melted down with coconut oil and a hit of peppermint extract, then shaped into delicate shells that cradle a jewel-bright filling of fresh strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, and almonds. A drizzle of maple syrup and another touch of peppermint tie everything together before the cups get sealed and chilled into something genuinely stunning. For anyone navigating ingredient labels carefully, the beauty here is that every component is clean and recognizable — no processed dairy, no stabilizers, nothing hiding in a coating or a glaze. Carrageenan tends to sneak into chocolate products, cream fillings, and even some nut milks, so building these cups from scratch with real fruit, raw nuts, and quality dark chocolate sidesteps that concern entirely. A finishing scatter of flaky sea salt over the tops is optional but honestly non-negotiable. Keep a batch in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for one every time you pass the kitchen.

Place the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan over the lowest heat setting, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 tsp peppermint extract.
Using a small spoon or pastry brush, coat the inside of each cavity of a 24-cup silicone mini muffin pan with a thin, even layer of the melted chocolate, working it about 3/4 of the way up the sides. Reserve the remaining melted chocolate for sealing the cups. Refrigerate the pan for 10 minutes, until the chocolate shells are firm to the touch.
