High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Peppermint Cocoa Fruit & Nut Cups

These little chocolate cups are the kind of treat that looks like it came from a fancy confectionery but comes together in your own kitchen with nothing but clean, real ingredients. Dark chocolate with over 70% cacao forms the shell, and because you're melting it yourself with just coconut oil and peppermint extract, there's no mystery about what's inside — no corn syrup, no glucose-fructose blends, just pure chocolate flavor. The filling is where things get really exciting: fresh strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, and almonds are tossed with a touch of maple syrup and a hint of cool peppermint, creating a bright, fruity, nutty center that plays beautifully against the rich chocolate shell. That combination of textures — snappy chocolate, juicy fruit, and crunchy nuts — makes every bite feel genuinely indulgent. So many store-bought chocolate cups and confections sneak in high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener or binding agent, which makes homemade versions like this one such a relief to find. The maple syrup does all the sweetening here, keeping things naturally sweet without any of the processed stuff. A finishing pinch of flaky sea salt on top pulls the whole flavor profile together and makes these look as polished as they taste.
