Low Iodine Peppermint Cocoa Fruit & Nut Cups

These little chocolate cups are a genuinely exciting treat — cool peppermint, rich dark chocolate, and a bright, juicy filling of fresh strawberries and blueberries tucked in with crunchy walnuts and almonds. The whole thing comes together in a silicone mini muffin pan, which makes the process surprisingly approachable and the results look almost too pretty to eat. For anyone navigating a low-iodine approach, chocolate desserts can feel like a minefield, but this one leans on high-cacao dark chocolate, coconut oil, fresh fruit, raw nuts, and maple syrup — a clean, straightforward lineup with no dairy, no eggs, and no iodized salt in sight. The optional finishing touch of flaky sea salt adds a sophisticated contrast without the iodine concerns that come with standard table salt. A double hit of peppermint extract — once in the chocolate shell and once in the filling — keeps every bite lively and refreshing rather than heavy. Once set, the cups pop cleanly out of the mold and store well in the fridge, so you can make a full batch ahead and have something genuinely special ready to grab all week.
