I first found this recipe published in the Farmer's Almanac. It seemed like the best thing in the world. Fudge for taste and cheese. The one I have calls for less of everything and can be made in a large pyrex mixing bowl in the microwave. I make it every year and it never fails to impress people. I have added nuts, candy cane pieces, dried fruit and sprinkles to make it fancy. As mentioned it can need more sugar, but once you get used to the recipe you won't be able to mess it up. Pretty foolproof and you shouldn't be able to taste the cheese.

Leaves an aftertaste in your mouth. CHEESE DOES NOT BELONG IN FUDGE!

One of my favorites. Sometimes you've got to add a little more powdered sugar, because humidity affects this recipe easily, but it's one of been making for years and one that I'll continue to make. Because friends & family constantly request it.

My mother used to make this and she lost the recipe. I was overjoyed to find it here! I just finished making it and towards the end, I had to start giggling - the smell is just like I remember. When I offered a taste to my boyfriend, he said, "I smell cheese (in the house), but I don't taste cheese! It's good!" He also commented that the texture is perfect, and it really is! I only made half the recipe as some other posters said, mainly because I wanted to make sure it came out right but I'm sure I'll be making the other half shortly. Quick, easy and really scrum-diddly-umptious. Yay!

This was a very easy recipe, and the fudge is smooth and creamy. I was worried about tasting the cheese, so I did double the amount of cocoa. I decreased the recipe by 1/2. I changed the order of the directions, too. First I mixed the confectioner's sugar and cocoa until well combined. I used my kitchenaid, but it can also be done by hand with a fork. Then in a medium saucepan, I melted the butter and processed cheese cubes over medium heat. It seems to really separate and get stringy, but that means it's nearly done, just not yet. I reduced the heat to medium-low, and whisked the cheese mixture for a few minutes longer. It eventually became smooth and creamy. Once it did, I used my kitchen-aid dough hook to mix it in with the cocoa and sugar. I mixed it on low speed for a few minutes, until I was certain all the cocoa and sugar were mixed in. The fudge started to look a little glossy. I had lined a 9x13 cake pan with parchment paper (with extra to be able to pull it out of the pan by the paper). I let it sit on my kitchen counter for about 3 hours to cool completely. Then I cut it into 48 squares (about 1 in. x 2 in. in size).

I tried this recipe tonight and LOVED it! I halfed the recipe as suggested, but it was so good I'm almost sorry I did! I would use half of the vanilla that they suggest next time as well. I melted the butter first, and then used Velveta slices which melted together perfectly. I then put it in my food processor and used a dough hook. It came out great!

I have made this for years now. I do half the recipe at a time. If you use the bag powder sugar you will not have to sift it, there is no lumps in the bags. I also mix the dry ingredients and then add the melted to it. I take a sheet of waxed paper and lay it into and up the sides of a 9x13 cake pan. Press the fudge into the pan. When I add walnuts to this I press them onto the top at this time. After it has chilled all you have to do is dump it onto a cutting board and cut into small pieces. I find 1 inch cubes are a perfect size.

Thought I'd try something different. This fudge is pretty good unless it's sitting next to fudge made the old fashioned way as it did at a Christmas party. Nobody went back for seconds.
