Chocolate beans ... I want to try it. It might be as good as smoked oatmeal cookies. I used to date a guy who put peanut butter in his chili.
When we were kids, my brother and I decided to play an April fools joke on Mother. We switched the flour and sugar in the canisters. Mother decided we deserved a treat, so made us some fudge. Don't know if she figured out our prank. It was too hard to pretend nothing was wrong with the sugarless fudge. We had to confess our crime.
