The "Viral Chickpea Nutella" tastes more like a "Chocolate Brownie Batter Protein Spread". But it was still quite delicious, and is a great nut-free, oil-free & vegan alternative.
RECIPE
1 16 oz can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
4 medjool dates, pitted, and soaked in hot water so they blend smoother
1 tbsp sweetener of choice, or an extra date if you like things sweeter
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup dark chocolate
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2-1 cup hot water, as needed to get it super smooth
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender until smooth. Add additional hot water to get it super smooth.
Enjoy as a dip for crackers, fruit, or on your morning toast. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days
