The latest sensation on TikTok is a mysterious dessert creation known as “chips and salsa.” This intriguing food trend involves a unique twist on the traditional snack by combining chopped strawberries with triangle slices of chocolate, mimicking the act of scooping salsa onto a chip.
To recreate this innovative treat, start by melting almond bark or chocolate chips and spreading them onto a sheet pan. Once the mixture is frozen, cut it into chip-shaped pieces. Then, chop up a container full of strawberries into salsa-like chunks to serve as the sweet “dip.”
The simple swap of strawberries for salsa and chocolate for chips has sparked a frenzy among users eager to try out this delectable combination. Numerous TikTokers have shared their delightful experiences with this sweet variation of a classic snack.
In a TikTok video featuring Midwest lifestyle content, a user can be seen scooping a piece of chocolate into a bowl of sliced strawberries, accompanied by the caption “‘Chips and salsa’ taken to a whole new level. If I never learn anything else from TikTok after this I won’t be mad.”
Even popular chip brand Tostitos, commonly associated with the traditional chips and salsa pairing, couldn’t resist joining the fun, expressing their playful dismay with a comment: “I’m upset 🙁.” On the other hand, Nestle Toll House, renowned for their chocolate chips, seized the opportunity to shine, leaving a comment filled with emojis: “time to shine🥰.”
Some users have embraced the trend as a Valentine’s Day treat, sharing their dessert salsa creations amidst romantic spreads and syncing them with a TikTok soundbite that exclaims, “This is my meal, I call it girl dinner.”
For added flair, adventurous individuals have explored melting chocolate onto tortilla chips meant for salsa dipping or experimenting with additional fruits in the “salsa.” Some have even taken it a step further by topping off their creations with sprinkles or whipped cream.
