Don't tell my family they had beans for dessert....and LIKED it.
How did I manage to give my family a vegetable for dessert without them having any idea?
I disguised the beans! They were like Clark Kent, glasses on, and then, BAM! They put on their cape and all their nutritious glory and made my family a little bit healthier.
And they had no clue...heh heh heh
This is what I made:

Cookie dough dip.
Who can resist cookie dough? No one in my family, that's who.
I served this bean dip with graham crackers for dessert, and we were literally scraping our bowls with our fingers. My husband even tossed the crackers aside and chowed down with just his spoon.
And I felt very, very satisfied...
And totally sneaky.
There were a couple of times I had to bite my to tongue with the side of my mouth to keep from laughing at the absurdity of my family lapping up bean dip for dessert!
But I had vowed for my New Year's Resolution that we would start eating healthier, especially where desserts are concerned. Thing One has a SERIOUS sweet tooth, proving, of course, that he is my child. Because this has peanut butter and chocolate in it, Thing Two didn't get to try any. But I have a feeling he will, two months in the future, love this. Because he loves everything that comes near his mouth.
Even paper.
What do you do?
Hide beans in desserts, that's what you do.
