Pinto Bean Fudge

Submitted by Rachael Sherwood

I haven’t tried this, but supposedly it is good and you can’t tell that is has pinto beans in it. Let me know what you think.
(This is a really good recipe (pinto bean fudge) but don't eat too much unless you (and your kids) are used to eating your beans!-imamomru@juno.com)

1 cup cooked soft pinto beans, drained and mashed
¼ cup milk
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 lbs powdered sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
6 tbsp butter or margarine
Nuts (optional)

In large bowl stir beans and milk together, adding enough milk to resemble mashed potatoes; stir in vanilla. Melt chocolate and butter or margarine and stir into bean mixture. Gradually stir in powdered sugar. Knead with hands until well blended. Spread into lightly greased 9 inch baking dish or form into two 1 ½ inch rolls. Chill 1-2 hours.
