Ingredients
  • 3 c sugar
  • ¼ c cocoa powder, sifted
  • Dash of salt
  • ⅔ c plus 1 T milk, I use 2%
  • 8 oz Velveeta, cut into thin slices
  • ¼ c peanut butter
  • 1.5 T butter
  • 1 t vanilla
  • ¼ to ¾ c chopped walnuts or other mix-ins
Instructions
  1. Lightly butter a 8x8 pan.
  2. Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, salt and milk in a medium sauce pan.
  3. Bring the cocoa milk mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches 245 degrees.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the Velveeta, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla.
  5. Using a whisk, rubber spatula or spoon – stir or whip vigorously until the fudge thickens. Approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in nuts or other mix-ins.
  7. Pour into prepared pan and tab gently on the counter to even out the fudge.
  8. Allow to set at room temperature for several hours.
  9. Cut using a thin blade, wiping blade clean between slices. I cut it into squares a little less than an inch in size.
