    Chocolate Peanut Butter Dessert Hummus

    I was hesitant to call this masterpiece "dessert" hummus because that implies that eating it in-between breakfast, lunch and dinner would be a no-no.

    But that's most definitely a yes-yes. In fact, I encourage it!

    "Dessert" merely implies that this isn't the salty, garlicy luscious legume fest that we're usually drooling over. This is the sweet, chocolatey, peanut buttery kind that kills me every.freaking.time.

    I could tell you to eat it with apples or gluten-free-sugar-free-taste-free cookies, but lez be honest and say that the vehicle of choice here is a spoon. Or a shovel.

    hummus

    Or a finger.

    Or a tongue.

    No judgements.

    For whatever reason, this delicacy grows exponentially in deliciousness after it has been refrigerated. The texture is STUPID good. You'll know what I mean when you taste it. The moral of the story is that good things come to those who wait, so let your lovely legumes chill in the fridge for a good hour or two before you faceplant into them.

     

    hummus5I originally created this recipe as one of the forty for my pals over at Simple Truth, so if you've already seen it over there, I'm sorry for the repeat. But this is so darn good that I had to share it over on this space, too. It would be straight-up rude not to.

    Go make thissss okeee bye.

      There are a lot of plan choices as meals baked when it comes to special diets.
      Teach the sentence words for preparing materials to cook.

      If mostly you are cooking dinner for your family –
      a 6 quart is probably your best bet.
