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’ve made this several times already. Very easy and very good. I add some more almond slivers cause I like them.
Beth Pierce
Thanks Ken! So glad that you liked it! We love it too!
Aparna
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.
Teresa
Cannot wait to try this fudge…looks amazing and amazingly easy. Thank you so much for sharing….
Beth Pierce
Thank you! I love that fudge too! I love sharing my recipes!!
Jaimie
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.
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much. So glad that you liked it. So sweet of you to take the time to leave such a sweet comment. Hope you have a great party!
Sara
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
Excuse me, but how many pieces does this recipe make? Thank you in advance.
Beth Pierce
16 pieces makes for a nice size for each person
