Hi.
So, I have a total sweet tooth.
I don’t know about you, but I’m that person that craves something chocolatey after dinner.
It’s actually a really bad problem.
I really love fruit but sometimes you just need something extra. That’s when chocolate hummus comes into play!
I first saw chocolate hummus on an Episode of Shark Tank last year. Honestly, is kinda sounded yuck. Chocolate and chickpeas?
but I was curious, you know?
I have seen it at Whole Foods and Trader Jo’s, but for $7 a pop, is pretty pricey.
The concept seemed pretty easy so I grabbed a can of chickpeas, unsweetened dark chocolate powder and wildflower honey, which all cost around $7 together. Not to mention the multiple uses you can make out of the powder and honey.
This snack reminds me of chocolate frosting, in texture and in flavor. Although it isn’t exact, I mean, you are still eating chickpeas, it is tasty!
Chickpeas are full of protein and fiber and are a great antioxidant. Mixed with the dark chocolate powder, chocolate and honey, they make a really taste treat to satisfy that sweet tooth.
The best part of this recipe is that you can customize it any way you want. Add nuts, fruit, ooooohhh, Nutella?
OPTIONS.
Talk to you soon!
Xx

- In a blender or food processor puree all ingredients until smooth.
Add 1 tbsp. of water at time to reach desired consistency. Use chickpeas (garbanzo beans) without skin. Most canned chickpeas have the skin removed. Try subbing out the chickpeas for black beans for a whole new taste!

This sounds too good! Im going to change the honey for some maple syrup to turn it vegan! Such a good idea
It makes sense to put chocolate and chickpeas together. It’s not something that would come to mind but it does work. This hummus is a must try plus it’s healthy! What more can you ask for, right?
Exactly Alison. You get it!
I have a massive sweet tooth too! (And I am munching on chocolate as I type this arghhh). This is so unique. I do like chickpeas and chocolate so maybe I will like them together!
Give it a go! Let me know if you like it!
I never imagined chocolate hummus but now that I’m intrigued and your recipe seems so easy to carry on I will have to give it a go! Not sure what they will think about this at home but I just show you your picture and they will be curious too!
Oh this is genius! You are a genius!!!! I love hummus and I would love to try this out asap! I have chickpeas in the slow cooker as we speak!
This sounds so good; i love chocolates but not sure if i have tasted or come across this chocolate hummus
YUM! I’m not a fan of hummus but I AM a fan of chocolate! I could totally get on board with this!
I have heard of chocolate hummus before, but I have never actually tried it. It sounds like it would be delectable, though! 🙂
I love the sound of this recipe. I have never had Hummus before but I would love to try it one day.
I loooooove hummus but I just can’t imagine mixing it with chocolate. I have terrible sweet tooth since I passed the 20th week mark in my pregnancy, and this could be something really healthy to satisfy the craving, so I must give it a try. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Shut the front door, i’ve only died and gone to heaven. 2 of my fave things, chocolate and hummus, come to mumma lol x
This is the second time in the last couple of weeks that I have seen humus blended with an interesting flavor. Although with this one I would think about it more as a dessert. And the apple slices look like the perfect pairing. I will have to try this out with my daughter.
I never imagined chocolate hummus but now that I’m intrigued! I should try it for my daughter!
Oh this isn’t something I would have thought about putting together but I think it would be very nice!! Think I might give it a go
Oooh!! I love hummus. So yummy. I would never have thought of chocolate hummus. It sounds delicious for sure!! 🙂
Sweet humour? Why have I never thought of this? I’ve always enjoyed savoury hummus, especially roasted garlic and red pepper but chocolate?! Omg
Looks good and the ingredients are healthy and delicious. Booking marking this and asking my Mom to make chocolate hummus-ala Komal 😀
I have never tried Hummus before but everyone at my job buys them a lot already packaged! Interesting
