VELVEETA CHOCOLATE FUDGE

That's right, this yummy fudge has an unusual ingredient - Velveeta Cheese!

1/2 lb Velveeta Cheese, sliced
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 bags (16-oz each) powdered sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa powder

Lightly spray the bottom of a 9-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the cheese and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and nuts.

In a large heat-proof  bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Pour the cheese mixture into the powdered sugar/cocoa mixture. Stir until the mixtures are completely mixed together. This will be very still and you may have to use your clean hands to combine completely.

Using your hands, press candy firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. If oil is visible on top, use paper towel to dab up excess.

Refrigerate to firm up then cut into 36 squares.
