Church Fudge

This recipe I found in The Advocate by a caterer Jane Hall Harmon

I had a bit of a problem getting past one of the ingredients... but I was determined to try this recipe... and believe it OR NOT... but this is some of the best fudge you'll ever eat!

INGREDIENTS:

2 (16 oz) boxes of confectioners' sugar
1/2 Cup Hershey's Cocoa
2 sticks of butter (unsalted)
1/2 LB of Velveeta cheese cut into small cubes
1 T Vanilla
1 Cup of Chopped Nuts

METHOD:

Sift confectioners' sugar into a large bowl.  

Sift cocoa into the same bowl

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cheese slowly .... stir continuously... be careful not to allow the cheese to stick or burn

When melted and well mixed, pour over the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer

When mixed well,add vanilla and chopped nuts,
Mix well using a spatula to scrape sides 

Press into a 9x13 pan allow to sit on counter about 20 minutes.... flatten with your hand,,,pressing out any air and distributing the mixture evenly into the dish.

I pop mine out at this stage and cut into squares.... it is VERY rich... Ms Harmon puts hers into the fridge covered in plastic wrap and then cuts into 1 inch squares
