Dessert Hummus? Yes please.

My birthday was Sunday and the Super Bowl was Sunday. My contribution to the party was dessert hummus.

I stumbled on these recipes. And I have every intention of making them again. I tried the chocolate chip cookie dough and the chocolate fudge brownie; both were divine. Next stop, the peanut butter.
