I’m tickled that you’re here! Like you, I wear many hats, and live to tell about it. This space is a place for sharing food, home, garden, travel and lifestyle tidbits, with some fun always thrown in for good measure.
Whoa! What? I’ve never heard of it! It looks so rich and decadent!
It’s the craziest thing, Robyn. When Randy tried it and I told him what was in it, he said “I would have never guessed in a million years that Velveeta was in this!”
What a great treat! Looks yummy and sounds really good 🙂
this is quite strange, velvetta cheese? oh well. What is alarming is the amount of butter, cheese, and sugar.
Wow….a killer for the arteries. Don’t know if i dare serve to anyone.
Most fudge recipes I know of are typically made of what most consider indulgent, unhealthy ingredients. Like any treat it’s meant to be enjoyed in small amounts.
You got my attention! Curious and must try this!
My family has been making this fudge for 30+ years. No one can believe the ‘secret ingredient”!
I wonder now how many times I’ve had it over the years and never knew.
Lumpy confectioners sugar. How to avoid and get it dissolved in fudge?
I sift it when concerned with lumps.
