Almond Joy Fudge features shredded coconut and chunks of almonds in a rich chocolate fudge base. This microwave fudge comes together in only a few minutes, but tastes like a gourmet version of the popular candy bar.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 14-oz can condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) butter
  • 1 cup whole almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1-1/3 cup shredded coconut, divided

Preparation:

1. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in one-minute increments until melted, stirring after every minute, for a total of 2-3 minutes.

3. Stir until the candy is smooth and well-mixed. Add the almonds and 1 cup of the coconut, and stir until they are evenly distributed.

4. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.

5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup coconut over the top of the fudge and press lightly to set it in the fudge.

6. Place the fudge in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours. Once set, cut into 1-inch squares and serve at room temperature. Store excess fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Yummy!!!, Member ABBUSYCOOKS

I love to make the fudge where you melt chocolate with sweetened condensed milk, but this recipe takes it to the next level. It really does taste like an Almond Joy Bar - but fudgy! Definitely a keeper.
