Hummus is one of my favorite foods. I use it as a condiment on sandwiches, eat it with veggies and pita, and even make salad dressings with it sometimes. But, one thing I had never done is thought of hummus as dessert.

After hearing of the idea I decided to take two of my guilty pleasures, chocolate, and peanut butter, and see what might happen. O…M…G! And, the best part? It’s stupid simple! A little peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, a little vanilla and you’ve got something incredibly delicious.

As crazy as it might sound.
