No one could believe it was made with velbeeta This will be our annual Christmas Fudge. We couldn't stop eating this fudge. I've made lots of different fudge, but this is by far the easiest and the creamest.

This is fantastic. It's not too sweet and was a big hit!

My mother-in-law made this fudge for me the first year my husband and I were married. I took some to my then six-year old niece. She loved it! I have made it every year since then for her for the holidays and special occasions for eleven years. It is the one thing she always asks for.

I made this to take to work and everyone loves it and would like for me to make it again just to ensure I did it right the first time.

I was so excited to find the recipe that I had lost. My Aunt made this fudge for me many years ago. I was so surprised to learn it was made with Velveeta. I think this is, by far, the best fudge I have ever made. Thanks!

I found a Velveeta fudge recipe about 15 years ago. Somewhere along the line I lost it and have had a dickens of a time finding it again. But one of my favorite chuckles is telling people it is made from Velveeta cheese. I'm so glad to find that Kraft is finally admitting the recipe exists. (about 5 years ago the web-side denied its existence) This is the first fudge recipe I have ever been able to make successfully.

I make this every year during the hoildays. Everyone loves it, just dont tell them what's in it before they try it. I always take extra recipe cards for this fudge when I take it to parties. Unbelieveably smooth and rich from the Velveeta! Cant eat just one square! Yummmmmm

Yes, it sounds god-awful - "Velveeta Fudge." But once you mix in butter, chocolate, vanilla, and sugar, you don't taste any cheese at all. Yet, it's the cheese makes it creamy. I made this for a pot-luck lunch at work and it was a HUGE hit!
