Chocolate Hummus

"Our Customers love chocolate, and our Customers love hummus…but Chocolate Hummus?! Admittedly, we were skeptical. The idea of a dessert hummus being anything more than “interesting” seemed unlikely—and while we’re all for “interesting,” our products have to actually taste good, too. Like, really good. And, to our great surprise, Chocolate Hummus does, in fact, taste really good. Made from a standard base of cooked chickpeas, tahini, expeller pressed canola oil, & sea salt, Trader Joe’s Chocolate Hummus is, texturally speaking, just like any other smooth & creamy hummus—it’s even made for us by a vendor that produces a few of our “regular” hummus varieties. Flavor-wise, however, Chocolate Hummus presents a whole new world. We’ve swapped the savory for the sweet—instead of garlic, roasted red peppers, eggplant, or any of the other typical hummus mix-ins, we’ve added in cane sugar, cocoa, & a bit of natural flavor in their place. The result is a sweet-but-not-too-sweet, chocolate-y spread with subtle sesame undertone...that’s headed straight for the TJ’s Hummus Hall of Fame! Enjoy Trader Joe’s Chocolate Hummus by the spoonful, or devour it as a dip for Organic Sliced Apples, fresh or Freeze Dried Strawberries, Banana Chips, Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks, or Honey Graham Crackers."
