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.

Tickled Red says
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! :)
