LIne four is 14 what???

It's an indication that one can of sweetened condensed milk contains 14 ounces.

Ok, I'll bite. Fourteen ounces of WHAT? You never even tried this recipe, now did you.

Then the proper line should read

1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)

I doubt that Paula Deen invented it, but if the chocolatey-est fudge is your thing, you can't get any more chocolate-y than chocolate and condensed milk and you can't get any easier than just melting everything together and stirring until thoroughly mixed.

I hate Velveeta and have often been curious about that recipe, but I am afraid the Velveeta taste would come through and I would hate it.

I used to have a recipe for fudge that was nearly foolproof because it used unflavored gelatin. It was always smooth and always tasted great. I don't have the recipe any more, but I found by looking on the Net that the idea of using unflavored gelatin actually dates back several decades. Here's a recipe from the Hershey's Cookbook of 1930:

CHOCOLATE GELATIN FUDGE

Soften the gelatin in a little of the milk.

Add the sugar and melted chocolate (or cocoa) to the rest of the milk and bring to the boiling point. Cook to the soft-ball stage.

Add the softened gelatin and the butter; vanilla, and also a dash of salt. Stir frequently while cooling.

Add the nuts. Spread in a buttered pan and set aside to cool and harden.

Cut in squares.
