Spring Into Brunch House Party with Maxwell House and Velveeta Recipes

Posted by kim on March 10, 2010

I am excited that I got chosen to host a Spring Into Brunch House Party sponsored by Maxwell House and Velveeta, and I received my party kit today! My goodie box contained (shown above):

  • 1 package Velveeta
  • 16 FREE Maxwell House coffee coupons (up to $5 value)
  • 16 – $1 off Velveeta coupons
  • Velveeta oven mitt
  • 16 Velveeta Spatulas
  • 16 Velveeta Recipe Cards
  • Package of Velveeta Napkins
  • Package of Maxwell House Coffee Cups

So obviously I intend to make food containing Velveeta for my house party guests.  Other hosts have been raving about Paula Deen’s Chocolate Cheese Fudge, and although the thought of cheese and chocolate together does not sound appetizing, I intend to try this recipe as they say you can’t taste the cheese and is delicious.

Velveeta Fudge Recipe

  • 1/2 lb Velveeta processed cheese, sliced or cubed
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (I will probably omit these)
  • 2 lbs. powdered confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa

Using a saucepan over medium heat, melt the cheese and butter together, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and nuts. In a large bowl sift together the sugar and cocoa. Pour the cheese mixture into the sugar and cocoa mixture and stir until completely mixed. The candy will be very stiff. Using your hands, remove candy from bowl and press evenly and firmly into a 9×9x2 pan sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. Because of the amount of butter in this recipe, pat the top of the candy with a paper towel to remove the excess oil. Place pan in refrigerator until candy is firm. Cut, eat and enjoy!

Paula Deen also has a recipe for Peanut Butter Cheese Fudge.

Another good (and easy) recipe that I make with Velveeta is a corn casserole that my kids love!

Corn Casserole Recipe

  • 1 cup dry spaghetti broken into 1″ pieces
  • 1 cup diced Velveeta cheese
  • 1 can cream style can
  • 1 can whole kernel corn undrained
  • 1/2 cup melted margarine

Mix all together. Bake in 2 quart baking dish at 375 degrees for a half an hour covered and than another half an hour uncovered.  I usually stir it when I uncover it as well. This is always a hit at family potlucks!

Anyone else have any good Velveeta recipes to share?

Ok, so I attempted to make a video, as I know I’m looooong overdue for one, but not only is my voice not properly functionally, but my video camera / editing software isn’t playing nice either.  So you only get to see a few seconds of me, sorry!  I even had some way cool stuff to show you, but you’ll have to take my word for it and read about everything below…

Remember, certain Kmarts are doubling coupons this week!  My daughter has a doctor’s appointment in Omaha tomorrow, but no Kmarts there are participating! The closest store to me that is, is in Yankton, South Dakota, but not sure I’ll be able to make it up there, as I’m supposed to still be resting while recovering after my surgery.  Not sure if my scratchy voice is from the tube that was down from throat during surgery or if I’m coming down with something.  I thought my voice sounded kinda sexy (I said kinda), but my kids seem to think it’s funny that I can’t yell at them to stop fighting or clean their rooms!

Catch ya on the flip side ~ Happy Shopping!
