Mash together to the consistency of mashed potatoes:
1 Cup soft cooked pinto beans
¼ – ½ Cup milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla

Melt:
6 oz unsweetened chocolate
6 Tablespoons butter

ADD:
2 lbs. powdered sugar

 

Pour the hot chocolate mixture into the beans. Stir until slightly thickened. Work in 2 lbs. powdered sugar. Knead with hands, spread into slightly buttered pan. Refrigerate. Makes 3 ½ lbs. This fudge can be appropriately decorated. Nuts or raisins can be added. It will stay moist in the refrigerator for a long time, if you can keep the family away from it!
