Here is the recipe I buy Velveeta for: Cheese Broccoli Soup 1 qt. water 1 c. chopped onion 1 c. chopped celery 2 cans cream of chicken soup (I have sub. cream of potato, celery, brocc/cheese etc.) 2 1/2 c. cubed potatoes 1 pkg. frozen broccoli (that is how the recipe reads-I usually use a 16-20oz. bag rather than a 10(?) oz. box) Cook the above together until veggies are tender. Add 1 pound Velveeta, cubed, and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Soup sticks easily after adding cheese. This is a very forgiving recipe-throw in California mix veggies instead of just broccoli, add more onion, celery, potato if you like them. My DH dilutes with extra water when he takes it hunting then leaves it in the crockpot so they come back to warm soup waiting for them. The guys all love it so I have to make this every year. HTH!

Lizzann, glad you enjoyed the Velveet fudge. It is delicious. My family doesn't question what I make cause they enjoy my cooking. Here's one, that I haven't tried: Chocolate Chip potato chip cookies 1 cup butter 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 2 1/4 cups crushed potato chips (I used Lays Classic Potato Chips) 1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Combine the flour and baking soda and slowly add to the creamed sugar mixture. Mix well. Stir in the crushed potato chips and chocolate chips. Drop by small spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. If you are making large cookies you may want to keep them in the oven for about 14 minutes. Cool for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

This is so easy and so very good. It is quick and easy for the busy holidays. FORT WORTH PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE 2 sticks butter (real butter) 2 cups chocolate chips 1 16-oz jar crunchy or extra crunchy peanut butter (I use JIF) 1 lb. box powdered sugar Put butter and chocolate chips in a large glass bowl and place in microwave. Microwave on high for 1 minute; then stir mixture well. If chips are not totally melted return to microwave and run on high for another 30 seconds. Remove and stir well. Put the peanut butter in the chocolate mix and stir well. Add box of powdered sugar and mix thoroughly. It gets tougher to stir once you have added powdered sugar so need some muscle. When thoroughly mixed, spray a 9 x 13 pan with Pam (or equivalent) or you can butter the pan well. Put fudge in the pan and spread out evenly. Place in refrigerator overnight. When ready to cut fudge into squares, remove from refrigerator for 30 minutes or so before cutting.

Carnation milk 2 tbsp. butter 1 1/2 c. white sugar 2 c. miniature marshmallows 1/2 c. chopped nuts 1 c. chocolate chips 1 tsp. vanilla Put milk, sugar, butter in saucepan, heat to boiling(238 ÃÂºF on a Candy Thermometer). Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add marshmallow, nuts and chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir until marshmallows are melted and smooth. Pour into buttered platter or pan. Cool, then cut into squares. Cooks Note: A Candy Thermometer is recommended for best results

That sounds so strange. I like Velveeta AND peanut butter but it's hard to imagine them together. I'll have to look up that recipe.

It IS strange sounding but makes a wonderfully heavy smooth fudge.

nookie :o( I'm not making the coq au vin :o( I'm Paul Deening it with almost everything.

I DID save and definitely will make SOON, plus your recipe is the one I will use. Thanks!

I halved the recipe and use the Velveeta block.
Just cut it up and half the amt filled one of those round tins full.

Paula Deen's Peanut butter Velveeta Fudge
1/2 pound sliced easy-melt cheese (recommended: Velveeta)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
2 (16-ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
Directions
Lightly spray the bottom of a 9 by 2-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt cheese and butter together, then add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla and nuts.

Empty confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and pour cheese mixture over sugar. Stir until completely mixed. Candy will be very stiff. Use your hands to squish everything together.

Using your hands, remove candy from the bowl and press evenly and firmly into the pan. Because of the amount of butter in this recipe, pat top of candy with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Place the pan in refrigerator until candy is firm.

To serve, cut into squares.

You never know it has Velveeta in it! Even if someone tells you, you STILL don't taste it.

Took some to my friend, this afternoon, and she and her DH LOVED IT!
