Peanut Butter Cheese Fudge

Yesterday we had Taster's Table where you bring your favorite fall dish. I really wanted to bring fudge but didn't have all the ingredients. I watched this recipe on Paula Dean a long time ago and thought gross. But I had all the ingredients and read the reviews and everyone gave it 5 stars. And surprisingly it is really yummy. You have to give it a try. I am telling you I was very skeptical at first too. It is very moist and has great peanut butter flavor.

Peanut butter cheese fudge
Ingredients
• 1/2 pound sliced easy-melt cheese (recommended: Velveeta)
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts
• 2 (16-ounce) boxes confectioners' sugar
Directions
Lightly spray the bottom of a 9 by 2-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt cheese and butter together, then add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla and nuts.
Empty confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and pour cheese mixture over sugar. Stir until completely mixed. Candy will be very stiff.
Using your hands, remove candy from the bowl and press evenly and firmly into the pan. Because of the amount of butter in this recipe, pat top of candy with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Place the pan in refrigerator until candy is firm. To serve, cut into squares.
