Pulse and blend the ingredients thoroughly until the hummus is smooth and creamy

The brownie batter chocolate hummus is a tasty center for a party dessert platter.
Variations: You can make this hummus with chickpeas, or white beans. For a smoother hummus when using chickpeas, we recommend removing the skins. If you love peanut butter, replace the tahini or substitute any other nut butter, such as almond butter.
Finally, we used maple syrup as the sweetener for this hummus but feel free to use agave, honey, or Stevia. We don’t recommend granulated sugar because it will make the hummus gritty. On the sweetness scale, this hummus isn’t over the top (although you can make it sweeter) making it ideal for use with chocolates and other sweet treats.
