Black Bean Fudge
I promised you the recipe for Black Bean Fudge, so here it is!!!
I do have to say, though, with the amount of butter and sugar in this recipe, there is NO WAY you would taste the measly 1 Cup of Beans you put into it. I doubled our recipe and we are allergic to nuts, so I eliminated those.
1 Cup cooked black beans, rinsed and pureed
3/4 Cup butter, melted
3/4 Cup cocoa
2 Tbls. vanilla
2 lbs powdered sugar (yes, really)
1/2 Cup walnuts, chopped
Mash or puree the beans in a food processor (or blender). Add the melted butter, cocoa, and vanilla, stirring well to mix. Stir in the sugar and walnuts. Spread in a 9X13 pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Cut into 30 squares and enjoy.
Here is a funny photo the boys caught of the baby. I’m sure they will black-mail him with it someday after he starts dating 🙂
