Here's an oldie but a goodie from the Accidental Mother's recipe box. It is really easy to make (kids can do it easily) and you don't have to heat up the house with the oven. Bonus!
1 can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained (or equivalent of prepared pinto beans)
1 cup baking cocoa
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 T vanilla extract
7 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
In a microwave-safe dish, mash beans with forks until smooth; cover and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or until heated through. Add cocoa, butter and vanilla (mixture will be thick). Slowly stir in sugar; add nuts. Press mixture into 9-in square pan coated with non-stick spray. Cover and refrigerate until firm. Cut into 1-in pieces. Yields about 3 1/2 lbs, 81 pieces.
