1 cup (8-ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) block pasteurized process cheese, such as Velveeta
2 pounds confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecans, or walnuts, coarsely chopped
Directions:
Gather the ingredients.
Butter a 9-inch-square pan. It's best to avoid cooking spray since this recipe produces a heavy, dense end result.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. They don't have to be symmetrical, but smaller pieces will be easier to work with than a large chunk.
In a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and cheese cubes. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat, but don't allow to cool. If it thickens, add a teaspoon of hot water to reduce the stickiness.
Combine the confectioners' sugar and cocoa and whisk to blend (or sift them together). Add the sugar and cocoa mixture to the cheese mixture, mixing well. Add the vanilla and nuts and blend well. The mixture will be thicker than you might expect, but that's OK.
Press the mixture into the prepared pan; chill in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for about 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares.
