I accidentally bought roasted, salted chickpeas (I've never heard of this – why would anyone want that?) instead of normal, dried chickpeas. To be clear, these chickpeas are dry and powdery, rather than boiled chickpeas roasted with salt to make a soft/crispy snack.
Can I still use them to make houmous? Or should I give this one up?

Roasted, salted dry chickpeas are a snack food.
I would not expect for you to be able to make humus out of them; for one thing, they would have way too much salt, and the texture would be wrong. It might be possible with a lot of experimentation, but you'd need to go through several failed batches before you got one which worked. Personally, I'd just go back to the store.
