But believe me when I tell you, this fudge is as rich, creamy, and delicious as any Holiday fudge out there. And because it's made with our amazing Quick Cook Black Beans, you don't have to worry about any excess sugar. Delicious and good for you? You know you can't pass that up. Grab a spoon, it's time to bake up some Black Bean Fudge.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup Quick Cook Black Beans
2 1/2 cups Water
1/2 cup Cacao Powder (or Baker's Cocoa Powder)
1/4 cup Organic Peanut Butter Powder + 2 Tbsp Water
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1/2 cup Pitted Dates
2 tsp Vanilla
Pinch of Himalayan Salt

Directions:
First, cook your beans.

Add beans and 2 1/2 cups water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Once done, drain any excess liquid.

In your Bosch Food Processor, add beans, cacao powder, peanut butter powder, coconut oil, dates, vanilla, and salt.

Process until you have a smooth but thick batter.

Pour evenly into a container of your choice, then place in refrigerator and let solidify for at least one hour.

Rich, flavorful, and oh so delicious, you won't believe that this fudge is not only tasty but healthy too. The rich flavor of the cacao powder, along with the subtle taste of the powdered peanut butter, gives this fudge all the tastes you love but with all the protein you'd never have with traditional fudge. And the whole thing is made with Black Beans! Insane!
