PINTO FUDGE


How about fudge that’s also full of protein?  That is what today’s recipe is all about.  My DHB heard about this recipe a few years ago from his mother.  We tried it and it’s just as good as any fudge I've ever eaten!




PINTO FUDGE

Ingredients:
1 can (15.5 oz.) Pinto Beans – drained
1 cup cocoa
¾ cup butter or margarine – melted
1 tablespoon vanilla
7 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar
1 cup walnuts

Mash pinto beans in a microwaveable container.  Cover and microwave for 1 ½ minutes.  Add cocoa, butter and vanilla and stir.  Add sugar and stir.  Add walnuts and stir.

Pour into a greased 9 inch square pan and cover it.  Refrigerate immediately until completely cooled.  Cut into 1 inch squares and serve.
