Recipe Type: dessert
Author:
Prep time: 10 mins
Total time: 10 mins
Serves: 5 dozen
Ingredients
- 1/2 C butter or margarine
- 1 C peanut butter
- 8 oz Velveeta cheese
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 lbs (32 oz) powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, peanut butter and velveeta. Put into the microwave for a couple of minutes on high.
- Stir it all together to be sure it is properly melted. Re-microwave if it needs more time.
- Once all the ingredients are melted together and combined, add in the vanilla.
- Stir.
- Add in the sugar a little bit at a time.
- The mix will get thicker and thicker, and once all the sugar is combined, you should be able to pick the whole thing up in your hands.
- Take a lightly sprayed glass casserole dish (or other large flattish tray) and press the mixture into it.
- Once it is spread evenly, place the whole thing in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- After removing from the fridge, use a knife and cut the mix into bite size morsels. I can usually get 60 pieces of fudge from this mix, but I like them BIG, so you can easily get twice that amount.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
To make this more diabetic friendly, create your own powdered sugar using: 7.5 C Splenda + 1/2 C & 2 Tbsp Corn starch. Blend them together to create a fine powder and use in place of the powdered sugar.
Another option is to use half the sugar and replace the other half with protein powder, which makes this recipe hugely full of protein and much healthier.

This recipe sounds so weird that I might just have to try it!

It is weird for sure, but it honestly is the best fudge ever! :)
Looks yummy, what could I substitute the Veveeta cheese for in the UK do you think? x

I don’t think it would turn out quite the same, but Philly cream cheese might work. I’ve made fudge with it before, and it was good.
Can you use anything other than Velveeta as it’s so processed it’s a little bit creepy for me :)

Lol. It IS slightly creepy. But the only think I might substitute is cream cheese. I don’t know if it would turn out quite as well, but I have made fudge with cream cheese before, and it worked, though wasn’t as good as this recipe. :)
I actually love fudge and I must admit, I really am raving for this one now.. I might try this tomorrow or maybe next.. Thanks!
Oooh let me know what you think. It is really SO good. :D
