Nearly every summer I pay a visit to the Mystery Readers Book Club at the Herrick Public Library in Holland, Michigan. At one of the meetings, member Carrie Stroh mentioned that she always used a recipe for fudge that called for Velveeta cheese. It came from her mother. Intrigued, I had to try it.

Velveeta Cheese Fudge

Melt together: 1 pound oleo or butter and 1 pound Velveeta.

Sift together: 1 cup cocoa and 4 pounds of powdered sugar. (That’s a lot of powdered sugar. Use the biggest bowl in the kitchen.)

Mix the sifted cocoa and powdered sugar thoroughly, then add the melted butter and cheese. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla. (I added the vanilla to the melted butter and cheese first.)

Carrie says: “Stir, stir, stir until your hand cramps! Spread evenly in a buttered nine-by-thirteen-inch pan. Cool and cut into squares.”

I interpreted “stir, stir, stir” as meaning beat, as with traditional fudge. But when I tried the recipe, I discovered that mixing the cheese-butter mixture with the sugar-cocoa mixture is a Job with a capital J. It’s extremely stiff. Beating this would be impossible. But the resulting fudge is perfectly smooth and absolutely delicious.
