This Chocolate Hummus is a favorite treat in our house, and one of the only ways [currently] that my 4 year old will eat any sort of bean.... despite my ongoing efforts. 🙄

It's so smooth & chocolatey and pairs really well with fruit, like apples, strawberries, bananas and pineapple! The options are totally endless here... use as a topping for waffles or even a filling for crepes if you fancy. 💁‍♀️💁‍♂️
