Pinto Bean Fudge

Sorry, no picture yet, but this is excellent!

1 c. cooked soft pinto beans*
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 c. plus 2 Tbsp. cocoa
3/4 c. butter, melted
2 lbs. powdered sugar
Nuts, optional

Pour beans, milk, vanilla, and butter in blender and process until smooth. Mix cocoa and powdered sugar in a bowl. Creating nest in center of sugar mixture, pour bean mixture in. Begin mixing being careful not to get sugar lumps. When mixed, this will be runny. Don't worry, it will set up very quickly, so poor it in a pan fast and refrigerate until firm. Enjoy!

*To quick cook pinto beans, add sorted beans and a bunch of water to a pot. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand one hour. Replace old water with fresh water and simmer covered for 1 and a half to 2 hours or until done.
