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'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 :)
