Ingredients
- 2 cups Dark chocolate chips 60% cacao

- 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
- Fold in the sliced almonds, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Notes
- Heating should be done gently over low heat to prevent burning of chocolate.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze it for up to three months.
- You can use either full-fat or low-fat condensed milk for this recipe; both work just fine.
