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. Makes about 8 pieces.
Velveeta Fudge
Ingredients
Instructions
I’m reading this and thinking, ok she’s just “likening” it to Velveeta, there can’t actually be Velveeta in these. And then I see the ingredient list and say “shut up!” out loud. haha Amazing.
well if nothing else, you get creativity of the month award for this one!!
I am intrigued! Any idea of how much 4 ounces is in tablespoons/cups? I don’t have a kitchen scale.
I do have a LOT of velveeta that my sister in law brought me back from the US. You Americans are lucky – it is about 1/2 the price there than it is in Canada.
I will have to try this as I love sweet and salty.
Um. Hells YES!
oohhh i’d be right there next to you worshipping velveeta. that stuff is soooo good! i could eat it in just about anything, which i guess now should include this fudge. i am super curious about how fudge tastes with velveeta in it, but if you say it’s amazing, then i totally trust you! :)
Wow – what a blast from the past! I remember everybody making Velveeta fudge back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. I’ve seen Paula Deen make it on her show and I’ve made pounds and pounds of it myself. And, no, it does not taste anything at all like cheese. It’s really delicious!
Yes, this stuff is amazing! We just called it”Cheese Fudge” back in the day, but it is decadent. No cheese flavor whatsoever.
haha i love the way you tell it like it is! “stop sipping your frapp!” you go girl, love the sass :) this sounds interesting but i’m sure it’s phenomenal. you’re one brave soul to try this combination and i’m so glad it worked out awesome for you!
You are my soul mate.
Saw Paula Deen making this on Iron Chef & my daughter has talked about it ever since. Might have to make it now, esp. since it’s anointed with frankincense and myrrh (you made me laugh this morning!).
mind = blown.
i bow down at the altar of velveeta.
I have a recipe for fudge made with various vegetables that I need to dig out but fudge made with cheese? That’s just crazy-talk! I love it!
Wow….would’ve never thought of this. I’m so tempted to make it and secretly serve it without revealing the secret ingredient until its all gone :) you are going on my “to do” list missy!
You are the only one I’d trust putting Velveeta into my desserts!
Whoa weird, I totally wanna try it!
Oh. My. Gaw.
This is incredible.
I’ve never tried Velveeta Fudge but I know that Paula Deen swears by it!! And that is all I need to know.
Love this scaled down version…your recipes are the perfect size!! I will be trying it soon!!
LOL…now you are divulging some best kept southern secrets here darlin’ ;D We want folks to keep thinking that Velveeta is ucky so that we can hog it all for ourselves. Nah! Just kiddin’. Love this post, you had me conjuring up images of my granny pulling out a log of Velveeta and cutting hunks for me to snack on. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
I was seriously stunned when I saw this recipe. It has the gag factor, and also a bit of mystery about it that has made me both repulsed and curious haha. I recently made some chocolate mint candy cane fudge, and love how easy the candy is to make. I just may have to try this.
While true I would never think of fudge and velveeta going toether, we are big time velveeta fans (best grilled cheese sandwiches around when you use velveeta) so I’m going to trust you on this one! :)
Awesome & intriguing! I don’t think I’ve ever eaten Velveeta but I love salty & sweet, and anything fudgey (!) so I’m very curious about this recipe!
wow – this is such a unique combination for me. I would not have thought of it but I do love velveeta!! Pics look wonderful
interesting. never thought of this. i’m curious to know how it tasted. :-)
I’ve never heard of Velveeta, but I do love the sound of salty, creamy cheese in fudge. Would love to try a piece of this right now!
Girlfriend, you crack me up! Yes, I’m a salty-sweet person, but it may take me a few days to wrap my head around this one. I’m still buying a brick of velvety this week, just in case.
I do love a sweet-salty desert but cheese and chocolate together – – I’m going to have to test this bad boy out before making any sound decisions. The fudge does look incredibly creamy … pretty cool recipe, if you ask me!!
Christina, I remember the first time I had a piece of Velveeta Fudge — everyone was oohing and ahhing over how creamy it was and then the hostess revealed her “secret.” Nobody could believe it. It really IS good. Glad to see you reintroducing an ol’ favorite!
Ok ok ok, I’ve been skeptical about this recipe for a while, but your description of the outcome is absolutely tantalizing. You may have just convinced me otherwise :)
wow! this sounds very interesting. i will definately give this a try. It sounds very decadent! thank you for sharingt this.
Girl, fly your freak flag – I love this for you!
I might even give it a try. My mother makes a KILLER Velveeta dip for the Oscars. I’ll at the least link her to this ;)
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
I think my Mom used to make this and I loved it!
YES!!!! Velveeta fudge, Loved it!
Now this is something I have to try!
Now here’s one I’ve never heard of, or would have thought of! Velveeta cheese in fudge. Gotta try this!
I do like velveeta and I do love fudge – this sounds intriguing and I can imagine liking it!
Whoa whoa whoa! Awesome.
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. :-)
