Ingredients

1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, sliced
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts, pecans, walnuts
2 (16-ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Directions

Spray lightly the bottom of a 9 by 2-inch square pan with a nonstick spray.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the cheese and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and nuts.

In a large bowl sift together the sugar and cocoa. Pour the cheese mixture into the sugar and cocoa mixture and stir until completely mixed. The candy will be very stiff.

Using your hands, remove candy from bowl and press evenly and firmly into pan. Because of the amount of butter in this recipe, pat the top of the candy with a paper towel to remove the excess oil. Place pan in refrigerator until candy is firm.

To serve candy, cut into squares.

Very Horrible
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

With a 5-star Paula Deen recipe I assumed this would be a slam dunk ... WRONG! This is just a terrible recipe, I have no idea... why it has 5 stars but wanted to warn everyone NOT to make this. Just stay away! The "fudge" smells like a big block of stinky velveeta cheese, a terrible smell that no amount of delicious chocolate can hide. No amount of mind control can make you forget that its full of melted fake cheese, either. Don't waste your money or time on this recipe. Paula's recipes are mostly perfect, but this one greatly misses the mark.Read more

Try roasting the nuts before adding. It's pure bliss.

The best ever... and with a twist
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best Fudge recipe I have ever come accross and I've made and eaten alot of fudge... I have discovered that this... works best using brand name Veleeta, the cheaper just doesnt cut it, and has a funky after taste.... also with the peanut butter one you have to use brand name, Jiff or Peter Pan... the cheap is just to nasty tasting.... I also took this recipe and changed it a liittle and make an almond, white fudge, and peppermint for Christmas, I've also done it with Orange and Strawberry too, you switch out the Cocoa for the flavor you want, and you may also have to switch the flaovring too like the Almond one I used Almond extract, and chopped Almonds and the orange use orange extract and orange peel for extra flare. using the bases of Veleeta and powdered sugar you can create your own line of fudge.

Yuck!!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I've tried this recipe twice and have failed both times. The first time I didn't sift the sugar and cocoa together so it was... very lumpy. It tasted horrible. I just tried it again and it turned out bad for the second time. I could actually pour it into the pan so it wasn't firm at all. Only reason I tried it was because the peanut butter version is wonderful!! I get rave reviews every time I make it. Somebody please help me and tell me what I could be doing wrong! Thank you for any help you could give me.Read more

READ THE REVIEWS !!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thanks to Paula for a great recipe but I must say that the only reason this turned out so good was by reading the reviews... that people took the time to discuss on how things turned out for them and then how to correct the issue. I have made a few recipes from this site and I have read all the reviews and taken notes on what should be done to make it work. So thanks to all of you who go out of the way to make sure things go better me.Read more
