Ingredients
  

For the Fudge:
  • 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 cup jarred marshmallow crème
  • 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds toasted

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 9-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen thermometer

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Pan - Begin by lining your 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This will make removing the fudge a breeze once it’s set.
  2. Step 2: Toast the Almonds - In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, set aside to cool.
  3. Step 3: Melt the Chocolate - In a medium saucepan, combine the bittersweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and butter. Place over low heat and stir gently until melted and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Combine Ingredients - Once the chocolate mixture is melted, add the granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and whipping cream. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  5. Step 5: Add Flavorings - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and jarred marshmallow crème until well incorporated.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the Almonds - Gently fold the toasted almonds into the fudge mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  7. Step 7: Pour and Set - Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to set completely, about 2 hours.
  8. Step 8: Cut and Serve - Once the fudge is fully set, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the pan. Cut into squares and enjoy your delightful Chocolate Toasted Almond Fudge!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a higher cocoa content.
  • Experiment with natural sweeteners like coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
