Boar's Head recently added Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus to its permanent product collection, offering a better-for-you way for consumers to indulge their cravings for something richly chocolate and decadent like brownie batter. With its cocoa flavor, the sweet hummus is said to pair well with everything from fruits and pretzels to crackers. The gluten-free, non-GMO chickpea-based product is made with organic sugar and vanilla for a fresh take on savory hummus dips and spreads.
On its website, Boar's Head shares a Southern Fatty recipe for cinnamon marshmallow-iced shortbread cookies, which may be used as a snack or dessert dipper for the Dark Chocolate Dessert Hummus.
From chocolate-covered whole chickpeas to chickpea-based cookie dough, brands are turning to garbanzo beans to provide consumers with protein-packed sweet snacks.
