VELVEETA CHEESE FUDGE



Maybe this is good, but using cheese to make fudge seems rather odd. I am dubious about the results of this recipe. I always use marshmallow fluff to make fudge because it is so easy. This recipe seems pretty easy.

INGREDIENTS

½ pound butter or margarine

½ pound Velveeta cheese

2 pounds powdered sugar

½ cup cocoa

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

Chopped nuts

DIRECTIONS

Sift cocoa and powdered sugar.

In a saucepan, melt margarine and cheese. Then add sugar and cocoa mix, vanilla and nuts.

Mix well and spread in buttered 13 x 9 pan. Cool, cut into squares. Makes over 3 pounds of fudge.
