Notes
Any well-stirred nut butter, like almond butter will work as a replacement for peanut butter. Just be sure to pick a nut or seed butter that has a flavor you love, as the taste will be prominent.
Any type of peanut butter works, although non natural peanut butters tend to stick together easier than natural peanut butter.
Replace the garbanzo beans with white beans or black beans if they are what you have on hand.
To reduce the amount of sugar, use sugar-free chocolate chips (and/or sugar-free maple syrup).
