Save A playful, sweet twist on the classic appetizer—crispy homemade chocolate tortilla chips served with a vibrant, refreshing fruit salsa. Perfect for parties or as an inventive finish to any meal.
I first made these for a family game night and everyone loved dipping crunchy chocolate chips into the tangy fruit salsa. It quickly became a favorite sweet snack for gatherings.
