Better then Nutella. And better for your health, too!
This Chocolate Hummus is sweetened by dates and gets its creaminess from almond butter. But the number one star in this symphony of flavors are... BEANS! We like to use black beans but chickpeas and navy beans work well too.
If you are tired of using the same old marmalade on your toast or if you are ready to try something new, e.g. chocolate hummus pizza, then this recipe is for you!
