Nothing says Christmas like fudge!
Maybe I should have started with this photo:
That’s better 
A. and I made it to my hometown for our family Christmas – and just in the nick of time. Ice and upwards of 17 inches of snow are predicted! Thankfully, all my siblings and their spouses made it too, so we are cozy and having a great time.
Which means, of course, we are constantly eating.
Yesterday one of my brothers made fudge – No-Fail Fudge, to be exact, a treasured recipe. The recipe is kind of shocking (including such things as Velveeta, an entire block of butter, and 4 pounds of powdered sugar…..wow…). And, to top it all off, you have to mix it with your hands!
We’ll just focus on the end result again before you lose your nerve:
No-Fail Fudge
- 1 lb Velveeta cheese
- 1 lb butter
- 4 lb powdered sugar
- 1 C cocoa
- 1 tabelspoon vanilla
Melt the cheese and butter. Mix dry ingredients and add the vanilla. Add to the melted mixture. It will take a big bowl to mix and you should use your hands for the best results! Press the fudge into a 10×15-inch pan. You can add nuts if you want.
According to the recipe card, this fudge “feeds an army,” so this is great for parties or large gatherings…or…just my immediate family.
Have a beautiful Christmas Eve!
No way, Velveeta?! Interesting…
