How to Make No Bake Pinto Bean Fudge
- Mash 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans until completely smooth. You can use a potato masher or an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed beans, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 pound granulated sugar (or equivalent sugar substitute – see note below), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour the bean fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fudge to set completely.
- Once chilled, cut the fudge into squares and serve. Enjoy!
- Note: If using a sugar substitute, carefully follow the package instructions to ensure you achieve the equivalent sweetness of 1 pound of granulated sugar.
