This is awesome! I didn’t realize that this would be so easy to make at home. I usually always get store bought which is pretty good but I bet this will be amazing.
I’m really intrigued by the chocolate stuff. I would kind of like to try it but don’t know if I’m quite willing to take the plunge and actually make it. I never thought of this as a sweet food but I’ll take you’re word for it that it’s good. Maybe I’ll get up the gumption to make some and find I actually love it. It would be a very healthy alternative to other sweets. It would make me feel like I wasn’t even eating dessert!

In reply to rz3300. If you're into spicy things, I would suggest trying to make your own sriracha hummus! I absolutely love both, so one day I decided to try the two combined! I will NOT go back to a plain version again. Also, spicy black bean variation is very good, and you can even find it in some grocery stores! I get mine from my local Shop and Stop. It's a product that I always must carry in my fridge.

Well I was really hoping that there was a spicy option, and sure enough it came through. I know that I do not really utilize hummus as much as I should, and I way too often resort to salsa when it comes to something to dip in, so this is a good article for me. I am not sure why I am this way, just force of habit I suppose. That said, though, you can expect some spicy hummus in the kitchen very soon. Thanks for sharing.

I’m currently watching my weight and have switched to my soup diet and I use hummus as my snack food. There are some great ideas of combinations here, and kale and basil is my favorite as I prefer a savory taste.

As a vegetarian I need protein and this is a good way to get it and on wholemeal crackers or wraps I know it’s healthy and helps with my fiber intake too.

Hummus has got to be one of my favorite things. It tastes great and has completely replaced some condiments and all dips I have used in the past. I use it on chips, pita, veggies, and spread it on sandwiches. I really am a big fan of red roasted pepper hummus. The two flavors marry well together. I am really excited to try to sun dried tomato hummus recipe that is mentioned in the article. I think it would be a good flavor as well.

The Spicy Jalapeno Hummus sounds amazing. Never tried it like that. I eat Hummus a lot and for any occasion. These recipes seem easy and delicious.

I eat a lot of hummus – even for breakfast sometimes, on granary toast, I find it keeps me fuller for longer than other breakfast foods. I have only tried to make my own once, without much success – it wasn’t so much the recipe that went wrong, but the blender that I used which couldn’t cope with the concentration of chick peas and consequently the motor burned out! I ended up with lumpy, chilli hummus which actually tasted okay but didn’t look so appetising!

I’ve never heard of hummus. I’m not sure if it’s something I would try on my own. Maybe I’ll order it at a restaurant before trying it at home.

In reply to Sarah Hagstrom.

Yeah, that’s something that’s not readily available here, so it put a hitch in my plans. I guess I’ll have to order some online, because I want to make some of these.

I think I will probably skip the sweet one. I don’t need any more ways to eat chocolate, ha ha. It does sound like a great way to get others to try something healthy though. I bet it works great for getting kids to eat better snacks. I’ll have to make that one for the grandkids.

Hi Sarah! Thanks for the Hummus recipes. I’m a total hummus lover and had only tried the traditional Hummus recipe. I actually didn’t know that hummus had such great variety. I had only seen the traditional and spicy versions, and had never even cooked Hummus at home. It was always store bought. You make cooking hummus at home sound so easy! I will definitely giving it a try. I’ll start with the traditional version, then onto the spicy and last the ever so intriguing chocolate version. Thanks again!
