 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!!)
