Ingredients

• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Toasted almonds
• 1 Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over low heat and continuously stir the mixture with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon. Allow the chocolate chips to melt completely and the mixture to become smooth and glossy. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Once the mixture is fully melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and toasted almonds.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly into the corners.

Step 6

Allow the fudge to cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature, then cover the dish with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.

Step 7

Once the fudge is completely set, remove it from the baking dish by lifting the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 16 squares.

Step 8

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Remove from the fridge 10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
