If we weren’t church-goin’ people, we would surely be idol worshippers. And our idol of choice? Velveeta. I don’t care what y'all say, the stuff is delicious. We would be such astute believers that we would refer to our idol as ‘Velveeta’ only in a hushed whisper. The more revered way to speak its name would be ‘pasturized cheese product.’ We would study the creation of pasteurized cheese product and understand that it is made by reincorporating the whey with the curd after the initial cheese-making process, a step with which other cheeses have not been annointed. Stabilizers are sprinkled in, not unlike frankincense and myrrh.
If you think fudge with cheese in it sounds gross, stop sipping your salted mocha frapp, get your fingers out of the salted caramel jar, and quit munching pretzel M&Ms just long enough to realize that this can be another way to get your salty-sweet fix. I promise y'all, it does not taste like cheese. It has the rich creaminess you know and love of Velveeta plus chocolate. If you can't bear the thought of it, I created a scaled down version of classic fudge last year that you might be interested in here.
I wish to dedicate this recipe to my lovely best friend Emma who took one bite of this and loved it, but then when she heard it contained Velveeta, refused to eat another bite. Did you hear that? She loved it.

I would bow at your Velveeta altar -- not to worry my friend, I am sure if the offering is this fudge, you would get more Velveeta supporters :D

Just found this post and tried it. I wanted to try this fudge but the original recipe was to much. So happy I was able to try it. It's delicious and I am still in shock that you don't taste any cheese. :-)
