I tried TikTok's viral 3-ingredient chocolate snack. It was simple, sweet, and tasty, but it took a lot of waiting and a few tweaks to get it right.

- I made a snack that recently went viral on TikTok. It lacked instructions so I had to wing it a bit.
- The recipe only called for three ingredients: raspberries, chocolate, and honey.
I was scrolling on TikTok one day when I came across a viral recipe for a super easy and delicious-looking raspberry and chocolate snack.
The TikTok video, which was posted by Alexa Santos on March 29 and has over 10 million views, didn't have a lot of instructions, such as the number of ingredients or how long each step would take.
Santos isn't the first TikToker to popularize the recipe — she credited user Keshvi Radia for inspiring her video. Radia's version, posted on January 22, has over 13 million views.
It seemed easy enough even without the measurements, so I gave it a go anyway.
I used one bar of white and one bar of milk chocolate, honey, and 250 grams of raspberries.
The video I followed showed Santos using white and milk chocolate buttons, and I assumed that bars would work just as well.
I thought that two chocolate bars would work well as I didn't use a lot of raspberries, but later found that I needed more.
I began by washing the raspberries and then squishing them into a paste.
I then added honey. There were no measurements given, so I winged it by adding a tablespoon.
A tablespoon of honey hit the sweet spot — it was the perfect amount.
I then shaped the raspberry and honey mixture into 9 disks and put them in the freezer. This was a little tricky as it was pretty watery.
There were no instructions on how long to leave them in the freezer so I waited for around two hours, which did the job.
I then set on melting my chocolate in the microwave, which was easy.
Since the recipe also didn't mention how long to microwave the chocolate for, I went off a previous experience where I successfully microwaved chocolate in 30-second intervals until it was melted.
The video then said to dip the frozen raspberry disks into the chocolate. This was a little fiddly as the raspberries were melting quickly, which made it difficult to coat them in chocolate.
In future, I'd take one disk out of the freezer at a time to ensure it's as dry and frozen as possible.
I also found that two bars of chocolate for 9 disks of raspberries wasn't enough. I needed at least three, but tried to make do. As a result, some disks had more chocolate than others.
I let them set in the fridge for 30 minutes and cut them open. It looked appealing but when I first tasted them I thought the recipe seemed overhyped. Then I tried them again a day later, and they were delicious.
The raspberries were sweet and the chocolate was smooth and added a nice crunch.
I think you need to wait and leave them in the fridge for at least a few hours, if not a day, for the best experience.
They weren't as good on the first try as the flavors probably didn't have enough time to develop. When I tasted it the second time, the raspberries tasted sweeter compared to the first time I tried it.
I preferred the white chocolate and raspberry combination the most, but the milk chocolate one was still tasty.
Next time, I'd like to try a bitter dark chocolate with the sweet raspberries. I think the contrast of flavors would level up this super-simple dessert.
I'd definitely make this again. It took me around 20 minutes of prep time, but required a lot of waiting for them to be ready to eat. Still, it's an easy recipe and worth making as long as you prepare it a day in advance of when you need them.
