We're back to make one of my favorite candies,
0:03
using two of my most favorite ingredients,
0:06
chocolate and cheese.
0:08
We're gonna be making chocolate cheese fudge,
0:11
and you won't believe how simple, quick and easy,
0:15
I can get this done normally in three to five minutes,
0:19
We're gonna start with processed cheese,
0:22
and it takes a little longer to melt than your butter.
0:24
So you'll wanna cut it up in cubes
0:26
and let it kind of get a head start on your butter.
0:29
So we've got our cheese in the pot
0:31
and we're gonna add our butter.
0:33
We're gonna stir these two ingredients together
0:34
until they are melted.
0:36
which doesn't take very long.
0:39
So you can see that cheese is already starting to,
0:43
get all loose and gushy in there.
0:45
Where on earth did this recipe come from y'all?
0:49
A friend gave it to me years ago,
0:53
and we just had more fun with it.
0:55
When we ate our fudge,
0:58
we could reason out that because it had cheese
1:00
it had one of the food groups, that it must be good for us.
1:03
So we didn't hesitate to eat our fudge.
1:08
And it's totally melted.
1:10
So we're gonna turn that off,
1:11
and we're gonna come over here,
1:12
and we're gonna sift two pounds, of powdered sugar,
1:18
and we're gonna stick our cocoa,
1:20
in with our last bag.
1:23
I make this fudge all the time.
1:25
I have so much fun with this recipe.
1:28
I remember the first time I served it to my girlfriends,
1:31
and one of my friends tasted it and she said,
1:36
She said that's the best fudge I've ever tasted.
1:38
She said that it's like the Amish make,
1:43
And when I told her it was actually cheese,
1:48
All right, we've got this ready.
1:50
We are gonna add our nuts, to our cheese and butter.
1:53
And just stir that in.
1:55
And then we're gonna add about a teaspoon of vanilla,
1:59
then we're gonna pour this over,
2:05
So we're just gonna stir that up and get it going.
2:08
Unbelievable isn't it.
2:10
And in just a minute after I've got it,
2:12
kind of fairly mixed up,
2:14
I'm going in with my hands.
2:16
There's nothing in here y'all but,
2:19
powdered sugar, nuts, cheese, butter, and vanilla.
2:23
You can make this dish from start to finish
2:25
in about seven to eight minutes.
2:28
All right, now I've got that moisten.
2:36
Look at that, the cheese is almost fudge now.
2:43
And we're gonna take it over here,
2:44
and we're gonna put it into our pan.
2:46
Now, if you're using a glass bowl,
2:48
you may wanna spray it.
2:50
But, we're using a Teflon pan
2:51
so we're not even gonna be bothered by spraying them.
2:54
And we're gonna press it out,
2:55
and this will harden in about eight to 10 minutes
2:59
should be ready to cut and serve.
3:02
Because of all the butter in this candy,
3:04
after I get it padded out,
3:06
I'll take a paper towel and just gently blot.
3:10
And if you're in a big hurry,
3:11
if you're running late like,
3:15
Just take this and stick it in the refridge,
3:18
and in about five minutes, should be ready to cut and serve.
3:23
And that's just what I'm gonna do
3:24
with this batch I made earlier.
3:27
And I'm gonna cut it,
3:29
just how good cheese can really be.
3:39
The best cheese you've ever eaten.
