Not a small-batch recipe but a throwback to a thing I used to make from Chocolate Covered Katie all the time.
Except my rendition of course, I make them with tahini and changed the chocolate layer a bit to incorporate tahini (or other nut/seed butter) to make them super duper nutty/seedy because I’m livin’ that nut/seed life I guess.
My kid goes for these as a breakfast, and I ain’t complaining, all that fiber and protein from beans, hell yeah!
Hope you give my version a try and let me know what you think!

Made them with peanut butter, very tasty but a bit dense on the stomach for me. How do you keep them: freezer or fridge?
yum!! i keep them frozen! you can gently bring to room temp for 5 minutes before eating, they get softer.
super yum!! I was a lil skeptical of the beans at first but they are perfectly sweet and taste awesome! I ended up making them with peanut butter instead of tahini. They were still pretty sticky after being in the freezer for 1.5 hrs so I cut them and broke them apart after freezing overnight.
omg yum! now i need to make the pb version!! 😅 thanks so much for letting me know!!!
