This dark chocolate hummus is an amazing chocolatey snack. For those of you who don’t know what hummus is, it’s a dip that is usually made from garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas).

Of course, it is easy to find premade versions of this recipe such as Boar’s Head. However, this recipe can be adjusted to make your own version to your own taste.
