Have I ever told you my first kiss story?
I had forgotten about it until just the other day when I shared it with my language teacher. We've just entered a new phase of language learning where we get to share stories about our lives while drawing pictures. Since I'm trying to do more talking in Chinese, I'm the one who's been sharing the bulk of the stories. My first kiss story came to mind and I knew my teacher would think it's hilarious. Wanna hear it?
Here it goes:
When I was about 4 or 5 years old, my older sister and I had a friend named Blake. Blake lived down the street from us and had a HUGE dog. The dog had a dog house that was also huge. Whenever Blake's dog wasn't in his house, we'd sneak inside to play. It was the perfect little play house for all three of us. One day when my sister, Blake and I were playing the dog house, my sister said to Blake and me, "I'll give you a penny for every time you kiss." Blake and I, wanting to be rich, took her up on her offer and started kissing...and kissing...and kissing... until my sister finally told us to STOP! Sadly I never got paid and only got in trouble for kissing so much.
Short and sweet right? I love that story as it's not a traditional first kiss story and usually causes a laugh. It's so funny how innocent kids can be...and greedy!
About This Vegan Chocolate Hummus
Well, that story has nothing to do with this Vegan Chocolate Hummus. But just like a good story can make you feel happy, so can this simple Vegan Chocolate Hummus! It only requires a handful of ingredients and is a protein-packed way to enjoy a sweet treat. I've been loving this Vegan Chocolate Hummus on toast, with fruit, and on oatmeal. I'm sure it would also taste amazing on graham crackers!
The beautiful thing about this Vegan Chocolate Hummus is that it can be more sweet or more savory. If you add in more maple syrup and cacao powder, you'll end up with a richer, sweeter spread. If you want your dip more savory and slightly sweet, add in less sweetener, taste and adjust to your liking. You could also add in some mix-ins like dairy-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts or dried fruit!
Let me know if you give this simple Vegan Chocolate Hummus and try and what you enjoy eating with it! Leave a comment telling me your thoughts and adaptions or take a picture and tag #theconscientiouseater on Instagram!

I made chocolate hummus a while ago but made it with white navy bean and it was very good, I'm excited about trying it with the chickpeas. I make my own hummus with chickpeas but never tried it with the chocolate, I'll let you know what I think! Thanks for sharing the recipe, sounds yummy!
Faith says
Yes let me know if you like it with the Chickpeas Rhonda! I hope it works out for you!
Kelsey says
Hi! How long will this stay good in the fridge?
Faith says
Hey Kelsey! Good question. I would say 3-4 days, but ours didn't last that long! Let me know if you make it and what you think:)
Emily says
Wow, this looks really yummy! I wonder if I could cook the chickpeas we have and make this.
Faith says
Thanks Emily! Definitely! I hope you like it if you end up making it:)
Ana @ Ana's Rocket Ship says
Ha! I'd of loved to see your language teachers face! This chocolate hummus sounds so good. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who makes sweet hummus - normally when I do it I get a load of funny looks!
Faith says
Thanks Ana! And I don't know why you'd get funny looks. They must have never tried your hummus cause I bet it's amazing!
Liv @ Healthy Liv says
Hahaha your first kiss story is too cute! Sounds a lot like something my 5-year old self would've done. And this looks wonderful!
Faith says
Glad to know I'm not the only greedy child;) thanks Liv!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
That is the cutest story! I was a greedy kid too - I was ridiculously picky, so my dad told me he'd give me a dollar for every crab leg I ate. I hated seafood, but I made $12! Haha!
This hummus is just brilliant. Any excuse to eat more chocolate. 🙂
Faith says
Haha That's awesome we've had similar experiences (although having to do completely different things)...give me the money!! Such greedy kids:)
Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl says
That's an adorable story! My first kiss was so awkward, I'd like to forget it...but not really 😉
Faith says
You're not alone in having an awkward first kiss story, that's for SURE! But yeah, don't forget it:)
Kat says
Mmmmm chocolate hummus 🙂 First kiss stories are always the best. I used to be the captain of the "kissing boys" club at my elementary school. Our only goal? Chase boys, pin them down, and kiss them 😉
Faith says
Haha that's hilarious! I hope you met your goal multiple times...creep all the boys out:)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

Haha! My first kiss story...so awkward!! One of the most awkward moments of my life 😛
Faith says
Embrace the awkwardness...we've ALL been there!! 🙂
