It’s almost Spring Break…and that could mean a couple things. Your kids are about to be home 24/7 and want to eat all of the things, you are going to be on the road, or your kids are going to want some fun snacks for camps. Either way, Spring Break around here means these growing kids want and need more food. Juicy Juice sponsored this post and tasked me with coming up with a great recipe sure to please the kids. This chocolate hummus apple ring snack doesn’t disappoint and pairs well with Juicy Juice fruit punch. 

Chocolate Hummus Apple Ring Snack

We were originally thinking of doing this snack with different nut butter options; sun butter, almond butter, peanut butter, etc. These would all make for a great snack and you could still use the idea here. However, the 10 year old and I spotted some dark chocolate hummus at the store and decided to go that direction instead. (Since then, we’ve made our own dark chocolate dessert hummus at a fraction of the cost! Grab the recipe here.)

Chocolate Hummus Apple Ring Snack Ingredients

So we gathered our tasty apple (this one is an “envy apple” and they are pretty amazing), our chocolate hummus, some paleo granola, dried cranberries and some toasted hemp hearts. Of course, you could grab many other toppings here, too like some cinnamon, other nuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, raisins or more. 

Cutting apples

Slicing the apples

When you slice the apple, you’ll want to make sure the slices are hearty enough to withhold some toppings and being bitten into without tumbling. We got about 5-6 slices out of a fairly average-sized apple. And you know, take note of the star of seeds in the middle.

Coring the apple

We used the end of an icing piping tip to take the core out of the apple. If you put it on straight to the apple, you won’t be able to get it in. But, if you got at an angle and sort of move it in a circular motion, the core comes right out.

Spread that hummus

Try to resist eating the dark chocolate hummus off a spoon or knife and instead spread it on your apple ring. Get a nice layer of it on there, around 0.5-1 Tablespoons. The kids liked doing the spreading because they got to lick their fingers. 

Spreading the hummus

Once the rings were all ready with their hummus, I called the rest of the kids in to put their toppings of choice on their chocolate hummus apple rings.

They did not disappoint in their topping choices and spreading. I was happy to see them trying the hemp hearts, too. I think that they liked that they look like sprinkles. 

Spreading toppings

The 7 year old chose granola and dried cranberries and the combination of the crunch with the sweet and slightly salty was amazing.

My favorite was all three of them piled on top!
