Description

This Velveeta Fudge recipe is a deliciously creamy and easy-to-make treat that requires only five ingredients. It combines Velveeta cheese with butter, chocolate chips, vanilla, powdered sugar, and optional pecans for a rich, smooth, and indulgent fudge that sets perfectly in the refrigerator. Perfect for holiday gatherings or anytime you crave a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Velveeta, diced
  • 1 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 cups powdered sugar (2 pounds)

Optional Ingredient

  • 1 ½ cups pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt Velveeta and Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, add diced Velveeta and salted butter. Stir frequently to ensure the mixture melts evenly and smoothly.
  2. Add Chocolate and Vanilla: Once the Velveeta and butter are fully melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate chips have melted and blended completely. Then, incorporate the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  3. Mix in Powdered Sugar: Lower the heat and gradually add the powdered sugar in increments, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully combined into a thick fudge mixture.
  4. Incorporate Pecans: Turn off the heat. If desired, fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the fudge mixture for texture and nutty flavor.
  5. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into a prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to allow the fudge to set firmly.
  6. Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into pieces and enjoy as a sweet dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Chopping the Velveeta into small pieces helps it melt faster and prevents clumping.
  • For a nut-free version, simply omit the pecans.
  • Use a non-stick or lightly greased pan to make it easier to remove the fudge.
  • Ensure you lower the heat before adding powdered sugar to prevent scorching.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
