Ingredients

Directions

  1. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Beat the butter and cheese mixture until it is smooth and well-blended.
  4. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla extract to the bowl.
  5. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and nonfat dry milk to the mixture.
  6. Beat the mixture until it is creamy and uniform; if too dry, add up to 1/4 cup of whole milk, one tablespoon at a time.
  7. Press the fudge mixture firmly into a buttered 9-inch square pan.
  8. Chill the pan in the refrigerator until the fudge is firm, about 1-2 hours.
  9. Cut the chilled fudge into 64 squares before serving.
