Ingredients
1/2 lb Velveeta, cubed
1 C butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (usually pecans or walnuts)
2 boxes (16 oz) powdered sugar
1/2 C cocoa powder
Directions
Spray lightly the bottom of a 9 x 2 inch square pan with a nonstick spray
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the cheese and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla and nuts.
In a large bowl sift together the sugar and cocoa.
Pour cheese mixture into sugar and cocoa mixture and stir until completely mixed.
Using your hands, remove candy from bowl and press evenly and firmly into pan.
Pat top of candy with a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
Place pan in refrigerator until candy is firm.
To serve, cut into squares.
Notes
When you're mixing the cheese with the sugar, use your hands - doing this with a spoon is pointless. And don't skip blotting it with the paper towel - otherwise it's got *way* too much grease. And I skip the nuts.
