1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 lb. butter
8 oz. cocoa
3 lbs. powdered sugar
Vanilla or almond extract
Chopped almonds or pecans (or both)

Slowly melt the butter in a saucepan. Add Velveeta cheese a little piece at a time and let it melt slowly. Stir in cocoa a little at a time, stirring well. Sift powdered sugar into mix and stir. Add 1 tbsp. of either vanilla or almond extract (whatever you like better), add nuts if you like, and pour mixture into pan. Refrigerate overnight and you're done. Hint: If the mix seems too thick to stir with a fork, wet your hands and mix by hand--just like making mud pies.

For those of you who think making fudge out of Velveeta cheese is strange, a lot of you ate it at the bake sale back in February. I made two batches of it and had nothing left!
