I think I could consume all types of chocolate at any time of the day. Considering my favorite snack is hummus, I thought it would be a brilliant idea to combine the two and create a delicious chocolate brownie paleo creation that is both sweet and healthy! This Chocolate Brownie Hummus tastes exactly like brownie batter and can be eaten by the spoonful. It's sweet, decadent and fudgy — exactly like warm brownies right out of the oven!
I can't even imagine now how wonderful this hummus would be spread perfectly on graham crackers while sitting around the fire making s’mores or on top of fluffy pancakes in the morning for breakfast. It also helps combat your sweet tooth but it has better-for-you ingredients (like Vital Proteins Hot Cocoa Collagen Latte™) making it a guilt-free pleasure. The cashews add a thick and nutty texture, while the cocoa powder and hot chocolate add a double-chocolate touch!
For serving ideas, it would be a beautiful addition to any sweet and chocolate-y charcuterie board. If you are looking for a new treat to try at home, consider this dessert hummus. Try it out and see for yourself!
