Cheesy Fudge

Who isn't intrigued about a fudge recipe made with Cheese!  Not just any cheese but processed Cheese...Preferably Velveeta. 

The recipe I have uses 3/4 lb of cheese.  I did but it think next time I will use 1/2 lb.  The fat content leaves a little moister in the fudge.  There were other circumstances that could have contributed to it.  Like Wade spilling a bottle of water on the coffee table that had one of a kind pictures under the glass...that leaks, just as the mixture is heating up on the stop. Needless to say, it was forgotten about and did get a little, um...stuck.  ~smile~

I think it turned out okay..although a little moist...I didn't use all the sugar since I didn't use all the mixture.  Also because I used bittersweet instead of unsweetened chocolate.

Cheesy Fudge

1/2  pound Velveeta cheese, cubed

1 cup butter, 2 sticks

6 oz unsweetened chocolate, all I had was bittersweet so that is what I used one bag.  You may need to adjust sugar if you use bittersweet, as it is 40% sugar.

1 cup chopped nuts,  I used walnuts, optional

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 to 2 lbs confectioners sugar.

Line 8x8 pan with foil and spray with oil. I used a 9x13 and it was thin.  

Heat cheese, butter and chocolate in saucepan until just melted.  Stirring until smooth. 

Take off heat and Add vanilla.  Add Nuts also if using.

Beat in confectioner's sugar a little at the time, with mixer.

It should be stiff, if not..add more sugar.

Pour in pan and smooth.

Keep in refrigerator until set. 

I drizzled melted white chocolate on top.  Use whatever you have to give it a little something.
