COCONUT ALMOND FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square pan with foil and grease lightly with non-stick spray.
• Put the dark chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, then remove and stir. Microwave in additional 30-second intervals until chocolate is almost completely melted (2 minutes total was perfect for me). Stir until smooth. Mixture will be thick and sticky, do not overheat. Stir in sliced almonds.
• Spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and mix until smooth. It will be very dry at first, but will come together after a minute or so.
• Add 2 cups of the flaked coconut and stir until combined. If mixture still appears quite runny, add the remaining 1/2 cup of flaked coconut.
• Spread evenly on top of the fudge layer. Chill for at least 20 minutes.
• In a microwave safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate on 50% power for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Spread evenly on top of the coconut layer.
• Top with whole almonds. If desired, use a knife to "score" the melted chocolate into 36 pieces before adding the almonds. This helps with placement.
• Chill for at least 2 hours. Remove fudge from pan and peel away foil. Cut into pieces and serve or chill for later. Fudge will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

EASY FUDGE BITES

Steps:

• Lightly spray a 9-by-9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Line with 2 crisscrossed pieces of parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Spray parchment. In a saucepan, combine butter, marshmallows, sugar, milk, and salt.
• Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until marshmallows have melted, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Let cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Using overhang, lift fudge onto a cutting board; cut into 1-inch squares. With rubber-gloved hands, to prevent fudge from becoming too slippery and messy, roll into balls (if mixture is very cold, it may crumble a bit; just let it warm slightly first), then roll in desired toppings as you go. Refrigerate until firm, 1 hour. (To make ahead, place balls in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 3 days.)
