Here’s my fudge recipe…please share yours!
Now, don’t be freaked out by the ingredients but give it a try. It’s the creamiest, quickest, and easiet fudge you’ll ever make!
Colleen’s Creamy Cocoa Fudge
4 pounds powdered sugar
1 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 pound butter, melted
1 pound Velveeta (yes, really….VELVEETA!!!)
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3 cups chopped pecans (optional)
SIFT together the sugar and cocoa powder
MELT butter and cheese over low heat (double boiler is best)
ADD vanilla to butter/cheese mixture
BLEND sugar and butter/cheese in a mixer until smooth
FOLD in pecans (optional)
POUR into a buttered dish and chill.
Cut and serve and wait until everyone has tasted it before you have them guess what’s in it–then watch their faces as they take another bite and can NOT taste the Velveeta!

6 oz. (1 cup) Nestle’s semi-sweet
2/3 cup evaporated skim milk
chocolate chips

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 stick (real) butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
a few grains salt
