I decided to give a dessert recipe a try tonight. Something I have always been intrigued by but never really had the guts to try. Black Bean Brownies. We decided to open a bottle of wine, grill some fish and asparagus and have a nice dinner on the patio tonight. So I decided we needed dessert to go with our dinner! This was the perfect opportunity to give this recipe a try. Honestly I couldn’t believe how truly good they were. My in laws stopped over and they do not like anything that is out of the ordinary. Neither my husband or I told them what was in them and they both liked them!!! So I would say it passed the toughest critics out there. This is totally going into rotation!!!
