I'm pretty certain that it's one of those things where the whole is a lot less than the sum of the two parts.
A whole lot of nope from me.1 -
What is in it? Like normal hummus with chocolate added or something pretty different that people are just calling hummus?
When I think hummus I think of garlic, lemon juice and tahini. I don't think everything with mashed chickpeas is hummus.

Basically chocolate flavored and sweetened chickpeas. Same thought process as avocado pudding.
Dark Chocolate Hummus

The brand at the supermarket here was Delighted by Hummus, with Vanilla Bean, Choco-O-Mint, Snickerdoodle, and Brownie Batter flavors. I got Brownie Batter. It was made with garbanzos and tahini, like the traditional version.
It was OK - but it had that slightly grainy hummus texture and a bit of a beany flavor to it. I had it with crackers. Nutella it ain't. Would I buy it again? I might try one of the other flavors. It's a nice alternative to traditional hummus for a snack - I'll wager home made would be better - there are a lot of recipes out there for various kinds of sweet hummus.
Here's a Moroccan recipe for spiced honey hummus:

Here's a recipe for pumpkin hummus from a Lebanese site (hey, it has to be OK if the Lebanese and Moroccans do it):

Amusedmonkey was talking in another thread about not liking foods that are traditionally savory to be sweet (the context was a discussion of oatmeal with riced cauliflower instead of oats) and mentioned dishes with fruit or dried fruit. I said then that I enjoy fruit in savory dishes a lot, but for some reason something like hummus IS something that to me is not supposed to be sweet, so the idea of sweet in it squicks me out. Non sweetened chocolate with chickpeas might be interesting, or black beans in brownies or avocado in a sweet chocolate dish, but those are pretty neutral flavored. I think it's that I associate hummus with garlic that is causing the reaction.
I think I'd love pumpkin hummus, but not sweet pumpkin hummus (pumpkin is better not sweetened IMO anyway).2 -
Isn't the American version of hummus bastardized enough?1

Isn't the American version of hummus bastardized enough?
is it? what's the traditional? i use chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, salt and paprika. sometimes i'll mess with flavors (sriracha and liquid smoke is a nice one) but then i don't call it hummus, just chickpea "insert flavor here" dip.1 -

The American version uses too much tahini for once. The actual version is much thicker with very little tahini. Like, you can actually taste the chickpeas for the most part. It's suppose to be like this because in Arabic hummus literally means "chickpeas" (type حمص in google translate to see.) And no paprika. NO! I have never had paprika in hummus! We drizzle some olive oil in between hummus and put some summac on it. The Jordanians like to put a slice or 2 of pickled beats with the hummus (not in it though).2 -
wouldn't that just be like, chocolate frosting?2

Here's a tasty-looking recipe: https://www.thespruce.com/hummus-with-tahini-2355351
(I never make it because I prefer baba ganoush, which also would be weird with chocolate.)
It's not like we don't have Middle Eastern restaurants in the US with hummus made by people familiar with non US styles, so I doubt ours is all just wrong. It's likely there are different traditional ways of making it, I expect.1 -

I don't like tahini, so eat hummus without. Where does that fit? But I like it with something added, like caramelized onions, or roasted red pepper.
Gonna try unsweetened pumpkin. Maybe. No chocolate.0 -
I'm in the "don't knock it 'til you try it" camp..They are two of my favourite things, could be awesome put together0

I saw a Boar's Head version of this in the grocery store. I love their roasted red pepper and the black bean versions. The chocolate version grossed me out, so I passed on it. No idea how it tastes.0

My version (out of the 1,000 Vegan Recipes cookbook) calls for garlic, chickpeas, tehina, lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and olive oil. I'll sometimes blend fresh herbs and/or grated carrot into it.0
