Whether you’re gathered around with some friends waiting anxiously for the big game to begin, or whether you’re just looking for an afternoon snack, hummus can never go amiss. But what’s a snacker to do when run-of-the-mill hummus gets a bit boring or seems a bit bland? We’ve got two solutions for that problem.

First off, grab a bag of Snack Factory^® Pretzel Crisps^® to serve as your dipping vehicle. The saltiness of those crisps pairs perfectly with any hummus you’ve got on the table. And that brings us to our second idea; up your hummus game by making it four delicious ways! Luckily, this is ridiculously easy to do.

Start by pulling out your food processor and making a hummus base. This base will be the foundation for all four of our hummus creations. Then, for each variation, you’ll need just three additional ingredients to add to your base. Mix those three ingredients into your base and you’ll have completely transformed your hummus into the stuff of snackers’ dreams.

You can try making one of these hummus recipes for your next game day, or for bonus points, try making all four and serving up a colorful and impressive presentation. We may not be sure about which team will win or lose the big game, but we’d place our bets on the fact that your hummus (one, two, three, or four ways), with the help of those crunchy, yummy Snack Factory^® Pretzel Crisps^®, will be a big winner on any given day.
