Dark Chocolate Hummus

I once held a farmer’s market stand selling only desserts made from beans. Every Saturday I bribed my husband with donuts and fancy coffee and he loaded up his truck with a tent, table, and a tub full of baked goods I had worked on until 1 a.m. the night before. It was like the stressful adult version of a lemonade stand. My biggest seller was the chocolate hummus. It was also my highest priced item because if Aldi can charge $4, then I assume it as my right as well. I was always surprised by this sale because who picks $4 chocolate bean puree over a $2 brownie?! I literally took pre-orders since it was flying off the table so fast. I ended the summer with a whopping $300 profit that I ended up giving away. It was fun. It was hot. Needless to say, it only lasted a season. I’m now sharing my coveted recipe to inspire the bean bakers of the future.
