WOW! This was seriously the best and most creamy fudge I've ever had! My hubby actually made this recipe. He thought I was crazy to even suggest it and he was very heistant because he LOVES his own fudge recipe! But he LOVED IT as well! We didn't tell anyone what was in it and they all loved it as well. After we told them the secret ingredient they didn't believe us and kept on eating it! We 1/2 the recipe down and I recommend doing that as well! VERY easy to make! This is definitely going on the Christmas plates! Thanks for a great fudge recipe!!

This was not spreadable. It looks like it's trying to escape from my pans because it's trailing up the sides from where I had to wipe it off the spoon and shake it etc. Furthermore, my husband said the consistency is "weird", without having a clue that it has Velveeta in it. Maybe I should have turned the heat back up after adding in the powdered sugar? I don't know, it was so hard to stir at that point that I figured it'd burn if I turned it up. 1 star :(

WOOZERS! You can't taste the Velveeta. This makes an easy, perfect fudge. Use unsalted butter and a really good quality cocoa. Used my kitchenaid to mix. Everyone really liked it.

We cut this recipe in half. We melted the cheese and butter in the microwave then followed the recipe exactly. Next time we will melt the cheese first then add the butter for a smoother consistency. Our final product was YUMMY!!!!

(I was forced against my will to give this recipe a star, but I want you to know that if I could I would rate this NEGATIVE 5 STARS) The kids like it. But they don't count -

I've made this recipe twice and have given it out at work. Everyone loved it. Both times I halved the recipe. I was given the suggestion to use no salt butter by one person. I can't wait to try that variation. This is the best!!!!

You don't have to cook this at all. To cut down on salty taste described by another reviewer, just use unsalted butter. DO NOT USE MARGARINE. Just put all the ingredients together -- all should be at room temperature -- in a large bowl and either mix together with the dough hook on your mixer or with your hands. This method works best with Velveta cheese -- not regular. Regular makes it too greasy after it sets up. This has been a family recipe for over 45 years. NEVER fails. I tried to add this recipe to the site but it was never published. Please try it, you won't be disappointed. It really does freeze well (in fact, I like it best cut into very small pieces and frozen. Just the right size for a pop-in-the-mouth dessert. mmmmmmmmm!

Just made the fudge. It is so simple and so good. I did cut the recipe in half, but think next time will make the whole recipe. My family loves it

I used this recipe but didn't use velveta. I used regular cheddar cheese that was thinly shredded. It worked and tasted just fine and doesn't taste like cheese at all. I too split the recipe in half.

This recipe is great!!! I made this with my 6 year old nephew, and he loved it. It is so simple. It definetly fills that inner choc-o-holic in my family. Believe me if I could make this anyone can.

This recipe was ok. It was very easy and quick to make but the flavor/texture was another story. I was a little bit "iffy" about the whole cheese thing, but the end product didn't really taste like cheese at all! However, it did taste kind of strange. I made it for a party yesterday and didn't get any of the rave reviews that other reviewers talked about. People mostly commented that it had a strange texture and a strange taste that they couldn't put their finger on. So, while the fudge wasn't BAD, it wasn't great either.

I made this once and it turned out terrible so I tried it again figuring that I had done something wrong. But no, it is just really bad. It tastes something like mac and cheese with cocoa. Save yourself the time and trouble.

I loved this as did my chocolate-holic husband! It tastes just like milk chocolate milk. The only thing I didn't like was it is a little on the soft side, hard to use my cutters on it. I froze it then cut it into little leafs and such. Also I halved this and still had PLENTY! Makes lots of fudge! I never tasted cheese(used Velveeta) neither did hubby. VERY GREAT FUDGE!!! Thanks!

I'm truly lousy when it comes to making fudge, but this one turns out every time. With this recipe, I look like I know what I'm doing. :) I agree with the previous posts that say halve the recipe and sift the cocoa into the powdered sugar, it really helps. Other than that, I follow the instructions. If you want to have some success at making fudge under your belt, this is the one to start with - it's as close as I've come to fool-proof.

This is an excellent recipe. It makes a very smooth, creamy and chewy fudge. It reminds me of fudge I've gotten from bakeries. It does makes huge amounts, so halve it unless you're cooking it for a big party. It works best if you sift your confectioners sugar and cocoa to get rid of lumps. It's easy to make, but does require lots of stirring. It gets stiff very quickly, so I wound up kneading it with my hands. I took it to a party and everyone raved over it. I do think it's best not to tell people what is in it until they've made their mind up about it. Some people are very suggestible, and if you tell them it has cheese in it, the cheese will be all that they taste. Otherwise, you really don't notice the cheese. I used Velveeta and it worked nicely.

This fudge was delicious! I suggest halving the recipe; as is, it makes an enormous amount of fudge. I wasn't able to taste the cheese but it makes it very smooth and rich. Yum!
