Hot Honey Humus Recipe
This Hot Honey Hummus starts with canned chickpeas (we love keeping things as easy as possible) plus a simple tip that means an ultra smooth and creamy dip without needing to peel chickpea skins. The sweet heat from the hot honey is a fun little twist on a classic appetizer, and it is perfect scooped up with warm pita, crunchy veggies, or crackers.

Notes
Tips & Tricks
- Measure the oil first and then the honey so the honey slides right out of the measuring cup.
- Before blending, I like to put ice cubes in a cup and fill up with cold water so that I have really cold water on hand if needed.
- The two most important ingredients in this recipe are the tahini and the hot honey. The quality of those will really determine the outcome so pick ones you enjoy.
