Mocha Almond Fudge is so rich and creamy! Laced with espresso and dark chocolate almonds, this 4 ingredient no-bake fudge is so easy to make and SO delicious!
My parents have always said it’s too bad that kids don’t come with instruction manuals…..and now that I’m a parent, I totally agree! On any given day, I find myself questioning at least a few of my decisions….and on the worst days I can easily feel like I have NO idea what I’m doing!
The latest decisions that have me questioning? What to get them for Christmas!! To be fair, I tend to over-think Christmas gifts in general…..but this year I’m feeling particularly unclear. Because this year there’s a whole new ball of wax in the equation.
And that new ball of wax is ELECTRONICS!! For the first time ever, we are seriously contemplating getting our older kids their own electronics. Something along the lines of an iPod or Kindle Fire….because, of course, everyone at school has one…..!
Mocha Almond Fudge – A perfect treat
We’ve gone back and forth about a million times trying to figure it out….trying to think it all through and make the best decision we can. What’s the right age for kids to have their own electronics? Or is there a right or wrong age? It’s not simple – that’s for sure. But parenting never is! You want to know what IS simple? This Mocha Almond Fudge! Just 4 ingredients and 5 minutes is all you need. No decisions, no second guessing, no regrets. Are you excited? (You should be!!)

My friend Becky over at The Cookie Rookie has a sweet Malted Instant Hot Chocolate Drink you really need to indulge in!
You are killing me with all these delicious recipes, I’m not sure what streets to make but I absolutely love how easy this is and I actually have all the ingredients in my cupboard! And for the record, I completely hear you contemplating the electronics… My 10-year-old has begged for an iPod for the past couple of years and we always resisted. This year has been tricky her as she’s getting older, but I’m just not ready to take that leap! Good luck my friend, two weeks from today!
Delicious for the holiday table. I am sure it will not last long! xo Catherine
