Hummus (also spelled houmous, etc.) is a spread or dip made from chickpeas or garbanzo beans. Two names for the same thing.
I have had traditional hummus in a middle eastern restaurant. I have had hummus from the grocery store brands, and I have made my own. I like it and believe it to be very healthy.
The grocery stores and some online cooking sites have presented various flavored hummus products. I found some Dark Chocolate Hummus in a mark down section, so I had to give it a try.
It is delicious. Not overly sweetened. It satisfies a chocolate craving in what I believe is a healthy way. So of course I am looking at recipes.
I am enjoying spreading chocolate hummus on pancakes and waffles. Then I do not add butter, and use only a tiny bit of syrup if any.
I am looking for other flavor suggestions to make as well

I love chocolates especially the dark one. It's nutritious.

Yes, and it satisfies that craving with less sugar.

It is very healthy and a good source of plant based protein.

I've come across various flavors of hummus but never chocolate... I'd give it a try if I ever find it.

I have seen recipes for brownie batter hummus (and I've even seen it in the store). I wonder if you'd also like to try snickerdoodle hummus?
Snickerdoodle Dessert Hummus - a sweet twist on traditional hummus but with some cinnamon & sweetness for a deliciously sweet and healthy snack.

I just might. I only buy it if it is on sale or discount. Otherwise I would make it. I will have to look at this recipe.

Chocolate hummus is very good...I have sugar cookie hummus right now. Sweet and quite healthy as far as I know.

I do not care much for the beans as such. I have made traditional hummus which is often lemony.

I only bought this because it was reduced in price. I was afraid I would not like it, but I was wrong.

I enjoy chickpeas in a salad, as a side but don't like them in hummus. I don't know if it is a textural thing or what.
Dark chocolate hummus sounds interesting. I wonder if I could get past the texture.
Glad you found some and are enjoying it.
