Haunted Halloween Hummus

Here is a quick and healthy snack for a Halloween movie night that you can whip up in no time. Hummus is super healthy which means we can have a few extra pieces of chocolate and not feel guilty about it. A touch of siracha chili paste for a bit of heat and loaded with fresh garlic flavor, it's sure to ward off Count Dracula himself.


a 15oz can of chick peas
5 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon of freshly Cracked pepper
1 teaspoon of Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon of Siracha paste (Plus more for the top)
1/2 cup of Tahini
4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons of water

In a food processor with the blade attached, pulse together the garlic cloves until they are finely minced. Drain the chick peas and rinse under cold water. Add the chick peas to the food processor and and pulse a few times.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and pulse together until the mixture is pureed. Season the hummus to taste. Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and allow it to chill for about 30 minutes.

For presentation. Serve on a large platter with a variety of snacks to dip into the hummus such as pita chips, freshly cut vegetables, tortilla chips, or pretzels. To make a festive design on top of the hummus, take the siracha paste and draw two to three circles over top. Next take a tooth pick and starting from the top, drag the tooth pick down through the siracha circles to make a spider-web shaped garnish.
