I fell head over heels for the combination of almonds and chocolate this past summer when I couldn’t stop making Double Chocolate Almond Ice Cream. The almond flavor is subtle and it takes a moment to realize what makes the chocolate flavor special. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend swapping almond extract for vanilla next time you make your favorite chocolate cake.
Almond flavoring is a fantastic way to change up your favorite chocolate recipes.
Microwave Fudge
This fudge received rave reviews from everyone who tried it. Thanks to Sue, for the brilliant idea of making fudge in the microwave. As it turns out, fudge doesn’t need to be time-consuming or tricky at all. This is the easiest fudge recipe I’ve ever made and it is also the creamiest, smoothest fudge I’ve ever tasted! Once you’ve tried your first five-minute fudge recipe, you’ll want to make the Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge, Rocky Road Fudge, and Chocolate Covered Pretzel Fudge recipes too.

How To Make Five Minute Fudge
PLEASE NOTE: This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, not heavy cream, not half and half, nothing else will work. Trust me on this. The sweetened condensed milk contains sugar which is vital to the taste, texture, and consistency of this recipe. Even if you’ve had success subbing with something else in other recipes, I promise that you NEED to use sweetened condensed milk for this fudge recipe! {originally published 12/3/13 – recipe notes and photos updated 12/15/21}
