A non-traditional fudge recipe that is traditional in my in-laws family and my husband’s Grandfather’s specialty. Feel free to add nuts or other mix-ins.
Author: Gravel & Dine
Recipe type: Dessert
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
Lightly butter a 8x8 pan.
Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, salt and milk in a medium sauce pan.
Bring the cocoa milk mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches 245 degrees.
Remove from heat and stir in the Velveeta, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla.
Using a whisk, rubber spatula or spoon – stir or whip vigorously until the fudge thickens. Approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir in nuts or other mix-ins.
Pour into prepared pan and tab gently on the counter to even out the fudge.
Allow to set at room temperature for several hours.
Cut using a thin blade, wiping blade clean between slices. I cut it into squares a little less than an inch in size.
