Refried Bean Fudge!

1 cup dry pack refried bean flakes, reconsituted

1/4 cup milk

6 oz. cocoa powder

2 lbs. powdered sugar

1 Tbsp. vanilla

6 Tbsp. butter

Combine beans and milk and stir. Add vanilla, melted butter and cocoa powder. Stir well and add powdered sugar a little at a time. Stir again. Knead well and press into a buttered 9x13 pan. Chill 1-2 hours. You can replace the refried beans with 1 cup cooked and mashed pinto beans. It seems to have the best consistency if kept in the freezer- it won't freeze hard. BIG HIT AT THE CANNERY BOOTH! Try adding marshmallows and nuts to make Rocky Road.

I WANT CANDY!

These marshmallows are great!

3 packets unflavored gelatine

2 cups sugar

1 cup boiling water

1/8 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

Powdered sugar

In saucepan, combine first 3 ingredients. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Add vanilla, stir and set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Then whip using a hand mixer for 8-10 minutes. Pour into buttered 9x13pan and refrigerate until firm, then cut with kitchen shears and roll in powdered sugar to prevent sticking or shake them in a bag filled with powdered sugar for a finer coating.
