If there are two things we’ll never say no to, it’s dessert and a good snack. But what happens when social media decides to mash up both? A new viral TikTok recipe is reimagining chips and salsa in the sweetest way possible, and it’s so easy, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t think of it first.
Instead of tortilla chips and tomato salsa, this dessert version swaps in crispy shards of chocolate bark as the “chips” and fresh, juicy strawberries as the “salsa.” Sound familiar? Yep, this is essentially a deconstructed take on chocolate-covered strawberries—only now, it’s snackable, shareable, and even easier to make. Is Gen Z breathing new life into this classic duo? Maybe. Are we totally here for it? Absolutely.
How to Make TikTok’s Dessert Chips and Salsa
The best part about this recipe? You only need two ingredients and a few minutes of prep. Here’s how to whip it up:
For the “chips” (chocolate bark):
Melt about 10–12 ounces of your favorite chocolate. (We recommend dark chocolate to balance the sweetness of the fruit.)
Spread the melted chocolate onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer.
For extra flair, sprinkle sea salt, crushed nuts, or even cookie crumbles on top.
Let it chill in the fridge until fully hardened, then break it into chip-sized pieces.
For the “salsa” (strawberries):
Finely dice fresh strawberries like you would tomatoes for salsa.
Toss them into a bowl and sweeten with a light dusting of sugar or a drizzle of honey.
Now, just dip and enjoy! It’s a simple, no-bake dessert that feels fancy but requires minimal effort—exactly the kind of treat we love.
The Perfect Recipe for Experimenting
Another reason this trend is taking off? It’s infinitely customizable. Want to level it up? Here are a few ideas:
Add some crunch: Mix in crushed pretzels or caramelized nuts into the chocolate before it hardens.
Go tropical: Swap strawberries for diced mango or pineapple for a fresh, fruity twist.
Spice it up: A pinch of chili powder in the melted chocolate adds a subtle heat that pairs beautifully with the fruit.
Make it minty: Fresh chopped mint in the “salsa” brings a refreshing, almost mojito-like vibe.
With endless flavor possibilities, TikTok’s dessert chips and salsa is a must-try for anyone who loves an easy, indulgent treat. So, what are you waiting for? Time to get dipping!
