Yes, you read that right. Velveeta Fudge. We don’t know what got into Drew this month, but when he opened up the recipe box this is what he came up with. He says that it’s one of those things that sounds horrible, but when you actually make it you find it’s delicious. (We asked him for some other examples of things like that and he couldn’t think of any, but nevermind.) Drew’s never led us astray before and he says this time won’t be any different. So, without further ado, we bring you Drew’s recipe for Velveeta Fudge…
