Fast Fudge

Ingredients

• 2 pounds powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 cup butter
• 8 oz. Velveeta® cheese
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method 

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and cocoa. In another bowl, microwave butter for 1 minute on high. Cut the cheese into small cubes and add to butter. Reduce power to 50% and microwave another minute, or until cheese is melted, being careful not to overheat it. Add to cocoa mixture. Add nuts and vanilla. Mix and pour into greased dish. Chill and cut into squares.
The cheese can be omitted, but it makes it smoother and gives it a very nice taste.
