Thanks Rod!
Your timing is impectable with this recipe. I am leaning as of yesterday to being a vegetarian. I will definitely be adding the Tofu Taco meat to my vegetarian recipe repertoire.

Chocolate Garbanzo Lickables (proof of concept)

What's this concept? How to create things to lick?

Ingredients:

15oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed & drained
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
1/2 cup 100% cacao powder
2-3 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp orange oil (to upscale)

Directions:

Place parchment paper on wide dinner plate
(or inside 8" x 8" baking dish, or whatever).

Heat garbanzo beans in large skillet
just until hot and dry.

Microwave olive oil in deep cereal bowl
until hot; mix cacao powder and sugar
then stir well into hot olive oil.

Gently fold in heated garbanzo beans, then
use spatula to spoon onto parchment paper.

Cover with plastic wrap and press firmly
to create one layer of beans. Refrigerate.

"How to serve?" Dunno! Depends.
"Depends on what?" Whatever.
"This is Cacaophony!" Indeed.
"Make it nutty?" Or seedy
