    Fold in the chocolate chips spread in the pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

    Tips:
    The food processor is best, blends and hides the consistency of the beans.
    Brownies are best cold.
    Can be stored in the fridge or frozen.
    Also tastes good raw, no need to bake if you are in a hurry.
