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.

Sounds good.
Can you omit the coconut and still have a good consistency ?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can.
Kristine
How do I store these at room temperature or keep in the refrigerator? I’m making several batches ahead of time.
Beth Pierce
How far ahead of time are you making it? I will await your answer as fudge is best stored in airtight container at room temperature.

Hey.. Seems my search for a nice fudge recipe ends here. Would love to try pretty soon. Just 2 doubts!! Is it OK if I omit the coconut flakes and replace butter with coconut oil? And I don’t find semi sweet chocochips here so, can I use simple sweet dark chocochips instead? Please suggest me..
Thanks in advance!
Beth Pierce
Yes I do think both of those would work although I have not tested the coconut oil. However I saw enough recipes on the internet to believe it should work.
Judy Paul
Can this fudge be frozen ? How far ahead can you make it and it still be good ?
Beth Pierce
Yes it can be. Be sure to wrap well.
Joan
Can the finished product be shipped? It holds up without refrigeration?
Beth Pierce
In this case I think some refrigeration (via a commercial icepack) would be advised. Especially if being sent to a warm climate.

Oh my goodness… This is soooo ridiculously GOOD. I’m doing a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom birthday party for my 3 year old and was looking for coconut recipes to include in the menu. I found this, made it, and now we can’t stop eating it! I’m going to have to make another batch for the party! Thank you for the recipe. It is going in my “keeper” file.
