Strawberry Chocolate "Chips and Salsa" (Viral TikTok Recipe)
This playful twist on chocolate covered strawberries might just become your new favorite treat. Instead of dipping whole strawberries into melted chocolate, you chop the strawberries into tiny pieces and scoop them up with thin chocolate discs. It feels like chips and salsa but in dessert form (it's sweet, not savory). No wonder it went viral on TikTok!

Steps
Melt the chocolate in a completely dry bowl in the microwave for 1.5-2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add the crispy quinoa if using and stir again. Spoon about 1/2-3/4 teaspoon of the melted chocolate onto parchment paper and use the back of the measuring spoon to swirl into a thin disc about 2 inches wide. Freeze for about 15 minutes until set. For sturdier chips, double the amount or stack two discs together when serving.
Finely chop the strawberries using the smallest grid on a veggie chopper. If chopping by hand instead, aim for very small pieces. Mix the chopped strawberries with a splash of maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
Serve the strawberry "salsa" in a bowl alongside the chocolate "chips." Feel free to top with coconut whipped cream for a creamy finish!
