• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (can choose dairy-free, sugar-free, or semi-sweet to meet your dietary needs!)
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cacoa powder
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts

• Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and enjoy!  
• For the double chocolate version, add in 1 tablespoon unsweetened cacoa powder with a dash more maple syrup while blending.
• Top with chopped nuts and enjoy on its own or with graham crackers for a decadent, yet #healthified cookie dough dip! 

Bonus Option: You can create scooped little cookie dough bites! 

Directions:

• Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and place in refrigerator to chill.
• Once slightly hardened, use a cookie scooper to form into balls and refrigerate or freeze until ready to eat.
• Enjoy as a properly-portioned, macro-friendly treat to curb your sweet tooth day or night!
