Christmas is the time of goodies-cookies, candy, breads, etc. We love fudge at our house. And yes, there is a PINTO BEAN FUDGE that I make for my friends and family at this time of year. Pinto beans you ask? The combination of pinto beans and sugary chocolate goodness just doesn't seem to be an appropriate pairing. But let me tell you.....it's very yummy. I always serve it and after it has been eaten and eaten I spring on them that there are pinto beans in it. Nobody can tell and it always gets rave reviews.
While Braxton and I were at the Greenbriar Resort in WV I had an opportunity to demonstrate my fudge-making abilities. Check out this link from Yahoo TV http://tv.yahoo.com/video/doomsday-preppers-112112-cooking-171803023.html
I found this recipe in the book "I Can't Believe It's Food Storage" by Crystal Godfrey. I did make an adjustment to her recipe by adding chopped pecans. The purpose of the nuts is to hide any pinto bean that might not have gotten blended up enough. If you bite into a bit of pinto bean it has the same texture and consistency as the chopped pecan. Perfect item to utilize your food storage and to give away to friends and get them excited about food storage!
