Delighted by Dessert Hummus <\/strong>is exactly as it sounds: dessert flavored hummus. In season 9 of Shark Tank<\/a><\/em>,<\/strong> it was pitched to the panel. Find out below if it was good enough to take home a deal, and what’s happened with the business since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Makenzie Marzluff created the dessert flavored hummus. Her culinary background allowed her to experiment and come up with chickpea-based hummus flavors that tasted just like dessert. The gluten-free food item was pitched as an alternative to sweets like cookie dough or ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Makenzie’s presentation resonated with the sharks, because she struck a deal with Mark Cuban. She asked for $600,000 for 12% and got the $600K for 25%, according to Shark Tank Tales<\/a>. Soon, her hummus was in retailers like Whole Foods, Walmart, Wegman\u2019s, and Publix. Her product was the first dessert hummus to be sold in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Later on, Makenzie rebranded her company to be Delighted By<\/a>, a dessert brand that still sells hummus. But, she also sells brownies, blondies, and jam. White chocolate, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and peanut butter chocolate chip are only a few fun flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
