Can you really even have a party without having a dip? Not in my opinion! This Spooky Black Bean Hummus is the perfect dip to take to a Halloween party or to serve the kids before they head out to trick-or-treat.

Packed with protein and fiber, this recipe also has lots of great flavor from the fresh lime juice, garlic tahini, and ground cumin. The roasted red pepper “snakes” are a tasty addition to the dip too!

I added these wheat square crackers from Sprouts as “tombstones” on top of the hummus and served them on the side for dipping. These crackers are so good! Usually, I don’t go for crackers with my hummus but I preferred to dip these over the cucumbers monster fingers and carrots monster toes. 🙂
