Ingredients
Scale
For the hummus:
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (remove skins for extra creaminess)
- 1/3 cup drippy tahini (or 1/2 cup peanut butter or other nut butter)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder

- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
For serving:
