Chocolate Cheese Fudge

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

Instructions:

Spray a 9x12 baking pan with PAM and set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the Velveeta 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. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the bowl well to get all the sugar. The candy will be very stiff.

Using your hands, remove the fudge from the 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 the fudge is firm. Cut and serve!
