This fun novelty recipe uses pinto beans to replace some of the butter typically found in fudge. Walnuts give the soft creamy squares a nice crunch. -Pattie Ann Forssberg of Logan, Kansas

This was excellent and very easy! I melted the butter as directed and then threw everything in the food processor, and blended until it was smooth. Poured it into the pan, smoothed it out, and refrigerated overnight. Everyone loved it and my husband couldn't believe it was beans!

I just made this, will see how it comes out. I used whey low sugar for most of the sugar needed. Whey low is used a lot by daibetics to keep the glycemic levels ok. I ended up using 4 c of the powdered, 1 c of granular and 1 c reg sugar. I test tasted the beaters. It was a bit grainy but very good, sweet enough without the other 1 1/2 cups called for. I see why powdered sugar is used instead of granular, being this fudge is not cooked.
