Chocolate Almond Microwave Fudge Recipe

As the holiday season approaches, one of the things my family looks  forward to is homemade candy. That’s why I was so excited to develop  this simple but elegant microwave fudge recipe.

INGREDIENTS

– chocolate chips – we used dark but any variety will work – chocolate frosting – sliced almonds – almond extract

STEP 1

Line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Place the chocolate chips in a medium-sized bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes.

Once the chocolate is smooth and creamy when stirred, without lumps, it’s ready to go. Remove the lid and film from the frosting container and microwave on high for 45 seconds.

STEP 2

Add the almond extract to the frosting and stir well. Add the frosting to the melted chocolate along with ½ cup sliced almonds.

STEP 3

Stir until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, tapping it a few times to help it even out. Top with the remaining 1/3 cup of sliced almonds. Chill for 2 hours or until set.
