This easy fudge recipe is pretty much fail-proof. When you make Velveeta fudge you don’t have to worry about your fudge drying out. Enjoy this microwave fudge recipe at Christmas or anytime! Great for cookie swaps and parties. It’s an easy fudge recipe without condensed milk to worry with.

How is the holiday season going for you so far? Are you managing all of the activities, get-togethers, shopping, gift wrapping, planning, and traveling involved?

I’m staying afloat over here, but I’m not going to lie…it’s been challenging. One thing that has helped (besides just saying no to a lot of things) has been finding simple, easy recipes to create for the events that I am able to attend.

Last night I brought a pan of Velveeta Fudge to a Christmas service project activity at our church.

Honestly, I shy away from making fudge since it has a reputation for being difficult and not always turning out just right. This easy fudge recipe was a delight to make though! Velveeta fudge is simple, easy, and a hit with everyone. What more can you ask for when creating a holiday treat?

Maybe you’ve heard of Velveeta fudge before. It’s one of Kraft’s most requested recipes! I’d never heard of it and was a little skeptical (Velveeta in FUDGE?? Making microwave fudge? Wha??) but the simple process and the prospect of actually making a good, easy fudge recipe for once made me willing to give it a try. Glad I did!
