Can you think of a better way to eat your beans then as dessert? Another plus is not having to turn on that oven in the summer! When I had tried a tea cake with beans and loved it, I went looking for more things with beans that are desserts. Found this on the internet. This is not a diet dessert...so eat sparingly.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c cooked pinto beans, unseasoned
3/4 c cocoa
1/2 c melted butter

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your fudge. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality pinto beans, cocoa powder, and other ingredients.
  • Cook the beans properly: The beans should be cooked until they are soft and creamy. This will ensure that the fudge has a smooth texture.
  • Do not overcook the fudge: Overcooked fudge will be hard and crumbly. Cook the fudge until it has reached the desired consistency.
  • Let the fudge cool completely: The fudge needs to cool completely before you can cut and serve it. This will help the fudge to set properly.
  • Store the fudge properly: The fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the fudge for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:
