Ok, so they are not in the shape of animals and they don’t have those fancy little tags you were never supposed to remove, but these are edible. Better yet, they are soft and chocolatey, the perfect cookie bar. Even better, they are made with beans!!!!
A few of you may have stopped reading at the bean part, but please don’t judge until you try. Beans are amazing things. They up the protein in these bad boys, keep them moist and soft, and make them less caloric.
So, I can’t claim complete credit for these, as the idea was given to me by another blogger Chocolate Covered Katie, but the recipe is all my own.
