Paula Deen cooks up some chocolate cheese fudge for Ellen just in time for the holidays.
Yes this is a little disgusting, but when did they get food police telling us what we can and can't use velveeta for? Personally I can't stand velveeta so masking it with sugar and chocolate sounds like a great idea to me. Cheers
I just puked in my mouth. Apparently, no one cares if good is good or even made from real food. As long as it's easy and fills one's giant gut on the cheap, it's fine. Never before have Americans had access to the kinds of cheeses we do now, and people are still eating Velveeta?!?!?! In fudge!?!?!?! I'll concede that the Velveeta and Rotele combo is tough to beat, but Velveeta should never be used for any other food purpose (I'm sure it makes a fine substitute for something you would ordinarily buy at Home Depot).
Dear Ellen,
I really love this recipe that Paula did on your show. I would really like if you told Paula didn't add penuts. I would really like if you
would e-mail me back!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!'
love sara
Ok gals ... Paula & everyone missed a great chance to make some great fudge.
I made a full batch ... using 2# of Velveeta (had to use that brick up ... don't want that stuff polluting my kitchen!). BUT it feeds the wolves at work!
Just scale up the Rx to use up the 2# of velveeta ... it'll make 12# of fudge in the end.
If you google the original Velveeta Cheese Fudge, the Rx calls for 1 Tbsp Vanilla.
ADD: 1/2 C brandy (I used a sweet Spanish brandy from Carlosi)
AND
1/2 C Sweet Raspberry Liqueur (I used Lillehammer)
... stir it in at the LAST moment after you've turned off the heat (who wants all that delicious alcohol boiling off!)
IF too gooey ... just stir in some more confectioner's sugar.
ALSO: Add LOTS more nuts than the original Rx ... I used 4C of walnuts (for a 12# batch) (pecans &/or blanched almonds would work as well) ... it was enough, but the Rx could have used even a 5th cup of nuts. It helps tame the overwhelming sweetness!
Also ... if you are gonna go for the full 12# batch ... you'll need at least a 4qt saucepan.
You might think it's hard to get rid of 12# of fudge, but I had nuns cat-fighting over the last few pieces.
I have printed the recipe for the chocolate cheese fudge and plan on making it. I also have read all the comments previously made regarding it. In case I have problems with the fudge being stiff enough, what is the answer to it as asked by others. Also, how much white chocolate and caramel do I use and how do I melt it?
Would velveeta light combined with splenda and half the amount of chocolate make a difference? I'm fat enough as it is already...
Can you please send me the recipe to Paula's fudge balls or let me know where to find it on the website? It looks so yummy! Thanks so much! I love your show Ellen- it is the best!
Would you send me the receipt please, I would love to taste and share. Ellen I love your show. You are so down to earth and real.
Your show is the best. And you are a wonderful, loving person. Will you please send to me, Paula Dean's Chocolate cheese fudge. Thank you so very much. May God continue to hold you and yours in His hands always. Your Irish friend, Evvie Glass
On the show it shows Paula dipping the chocolate cheese fudge in carmel and white chocolate, well in the recipe it does not say that. I am going to try to make it cuz it looks so good GOOD on TV !!!
Will you please send me Paula Dean's chocolate cheese fudge recipe? I would REALLY appreciate it! Or let me know how to get it from Ellen's website...i couldn't find the link for it.

I lOVE YOU! I am 14 and i watch your show everyday! Pairing up with my favorite food network chef made it even better!
Thanks!
Hi Ellen, LOVE your show!! I tried to make the fudge balls you and Paula made on the show last week with my kids today. They taste delicious!! However, I (like several others) am having a problem with the fudge getting thick enough to roll into balls. It almost has the consistancy of a stiff cake frosting. I have double checked my recipee and have re-watched the segment. I can't seem to figure out what I have done wrong. I put it in the refrigerator all day but it still doesn't seem to be getting any stiffer. Please help!!
Thanks!
