Last Minute Homemade Gift! Fudge in a Flash!

This time of year it always seems that I need an extra present or two on hand. Here is a recipe for Chocolate Almond Fudge, that is delicious, inexpensive, and whips up fast! Perfect for co-workers, teacher gifts, or even to set out at a party! You can switch out the almonds for other add in-s, such as marshmallows, or peanut butter,or white chocolate chips. So simple and so yummy!



Decadent Chocolate Almond Fudge
Shawn Hull

Ingredients
3 cups of chocolate chips
1 cup of almonds
1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
1 pinch of kosher salt
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Non-Stick Spray

In a double boiler melt down chocolate chips with vanilla, pinch of salt, and can of sweetened condensed milk.



Keep heat very low, so as not to burn. When the chocolate is smooth and has a shiny sheen, take it off the heat.



Add one cup of almonds and stir into the fudge mixture.



Pour into a 8x8 square pan sprayed with non-stick spray.





Chill in the refrigerator for two hours.



Cut into bite size pieces and package in air tight containers.



Wrap. I used brown paper bags, (I was out of wrapping paper, plus it gives a nice rustic homey feel). Tie with ribbon.


Give to friends and family!

Happy Holidays from the Hull Family!
