If you think your love for hummus has already hit its peak, think again. The Internet is going crazy for chocolate hummus — a dream team of the classic, creamy treat and the healthy, chickpea-based spread — and you can bet that you’re going to love it too. Expect to see the combo in stores all over the country in the near future.
Raising The Bar For Healthy Snacks
Much like Nutella, which has taken Americans by storm in previous years, chocolate hummus gives your sweet tooth a fix with much more nutritional value. In fact, chocolate hummus is radically healthier than Nutella — with less sugar, less calories, and way more fiber.
Combine it with a nutritious dipping snack, perhaps pretzels or whole-wheat pita bread, and you’ve got yourself a well-balanced treat that hits you in all the right ways.

Just A Few Alterations Turn Hummus Into A Sweet Tooth Treat
If you’re thinking chocolate hummus just doesn’t make sense, ponder this: How different are chickpeas and hazelnuts (the foundation of Nutella), anyway? Cut the garlic out of hummus, and the savory dish becomes instantly neutral. Replace the garlic with chocolate, and you’re left with a dessert-like dip. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or some coconut flakes? Delish.
Chocolate hummus has been championed by parents, who are happy to find a way to sneak a healthier option into their kids’ lunchboxes, as well as vegans, who normally find themselves unable to opt for many chocolate snacks. The dynamic dish is also safe for the lactose intolerant, and it’s perfect for anyone who needs to step up their fiber game.
Tons Of Companies Are Getting Behind This Clever Combo
A handful of companies already make versions of chocolate hummus, but recently, the innovative spread really made headlines when an upstart called Delighted by Hummus scored big on Shark Tank with a $600,000 endorsement from Mark Cuban. The upstart has sweet hummus flavors beyond chocolate, too, including vanilla bean and snickerdoodle. The opportunities are endless.
