Runs to Whole Foods (Picture: Hope Foods)

Chocolate hummus is now a thing – and, yes, we *think* that means someone’s just invented healthy Nutella.

Maddie Stein from website Spoon University discovered the strange sweet/savoury hybrid on a trip to Whole Foods and was ‘blown away’ by the taste sensation.

The sweet hummus is the work of Hope Foods who make various hummus and superfood dips, and is, they say, ‘a holy grail for chocolate lovers.’

It’s got that luxurious, lush decadence of Nutella but only a third of the calories and sugar. Oh, and a few more lumps.

Made with organic cocoa powder and garbanzo beans (chickpeas), plus vanilla, and cane sugar, it claims to be a ‘low glycemic, soy-free, dairy-free indulgence’. Which sounds like a bit of an oxymoron but, according to Maddie, it’s a ‘winning combo’.



You can enjoy it with fruit, pretzels, crackers, or, you know, you can just shovel it in using your hands if you want.

It also comes in dark chocolate and coconut flavour too.

And apparently, chickpeas and chocolate aren’t such a new combination. Bakers have been using the beans in their desserts for a while – check out Nigella Lawson’s chickpea chocolate cake here.

Anyway, back to chocolate hummus. It’s delicious dark chocolate spread that’s not terrible for you. Aka, we’re living the actual dream.
