* ½ lb Velveeta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1 cup salted butter, cut into cubes
* ½ cup cocoa powder
* 7 ½ cups powdered sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
**Instructions**
1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa to remove lumps.
3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the Velveeta and butter. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
4. Pour the hot mixture over the powdered sugar and cocoa. Mix until smooth and well combined. The fudge thickens quickly, so work fast.
5. Stir in the vanilla and nuts, if using.
6. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. Let it cool at room temperature until firm, then cut into squares.
**Notes**
* Velveeta gives the fudge a surprisingly smooth and creamy texture without adding a cheesy flavor.
* This recipe sets up fast, so having everything ready beforehand helps.
* Store in an airtight container; it keeps well at room temp or in the fridge.

I’m very curious about how this tastes
Interesting, stupid question maybe, but does it taste like cheese?
