...THE BEST FUDGE RECIPE EVER (EVER...ever...ever...)

Seriously, kids... This is my favorite and the easiest fudge recipe I've ever found... no overcooking, no undercooking, perfect everytime. Takes about 20 minutes to prepare.

It comes from Paula Deen on the Food Network.

Chocolate Cheese Fudge

2 lbs confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, cubed
2 sticks butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts

Spray the bottom of a 9x9 square pan lightly with a nonstick spray.

In a large bowl sift together the sugar and cocoa.

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

Pour the cheese mixture into the sugar/cocoa mixture and stir until completely mixed. The candy will be very stiff. Use a clean hand and squeeze the candy between your fingers to mix thoroughly.

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 1 inch squares.

I made this for the folks at work and ended up giving out the recipe to about 20 people.

Enjoy!
