Foolproof Almond Joy Fudge is a sweet creamy combo of chocolate, almonds and coconut! So if you have five minutes and the desire to make a creamy sweet treat to share with your loved ones I got your back.
Ingredients
- 3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips I use Ghirardelli
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Line 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang. You will use this overhang to help remove the fudge from the pan.
- In large microwavable bowl add chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter. Cook in microwave at 50% power until chips are melted; approximately 3-5 minutes. Stir a couple of times during the cooking process. After chips are melted quickly stir in coconut and almonds.
- Pour into parchment lined pan and smooth with the back side of a spoon lightly sprayed with nonstick baking spray. Refrigerate until set. Using the overhang lift fudge out of pan and place on cutting board or plate. Peel off parchment paper.

I’d like to make these as Christmas gifts. How far in advance could I make them and what is the best way to store them before handing them out?
Beth Pierce
You can make them any time. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Merry Christmas!
Maddy
Hi! I just made your recipe, just waiting for it to set. I licked the spoon and it tastes amazing! How long does it take to set when its refrigerated? Could I leave it to set at room temperature (it would probably take longer I guess to set though)?
Beth Pierce
It should only take a couple of hours in the fridge. 🙂
Traci
Could I use Hershey kisse
Beth Pierce
No I don’t think…kind of risky!
Nina
I don’t have a microwave. Presumably a double boiler would work, the old fashioned way?
Beth Pierce
Yes it will work that way as well.
Tamara H.
Did you use sweetened shredded coconut, or unsweetened? Thanks!
Beth Pierce
Sweetened! Sorry about the delay. I was at the store.
Pat
The nutritional facts are a moot point when you are marking fudge!!!
Beth Pierce
I would agree. You make me laugh!
Liza
Do you know what the nutritional facts are for this recipe? Looks yummy!
Beth Pierce
No I am sorry I do not. There are websites where you can plug in the ingredients and get the nutritional facts.
Kathy Huey
Who cares!! It’s fudge!!
Lily
It came out too hard! Not sure why…
Beth Pierce
Is it possible you cooked the mixture in the microwave longer than just being melted? Not trying to throw around accusations. I just know that chocolate can be sensitive to melting.
Carol
Can I substitute pecans instead of.tthe almonds And omit the coconut?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can.
Connie
Lol. Just make another recipe you mean? Haha
Tena
Agree. So funny
Donna
could I use peanut butter chips to make a peanut butter fudge?
Beth Pierce
I think I would find a peanut butter fudge recipe just to be safe…You can google microwavable peanut butter fudge and see if you can find a highly rated easy one.
Neema Gaylor
