Chocolates might be the most loved deserts across all parts of world. From kids to elderly everybody loves chocolates. There are variety of types of chocolates  like brown ,white  ,dark chocolate.Brown chocolates are made using cocoa solids.Powdered cocoa is used for many chocolate recipes.

Eating chocolate is sheer bliss for me so I searched for home made chocolate recipes and made very easy to make chocolate fudge at home .Chocolate fudge is very easy to make desert made using cocoa solids or cocoa powder.


If you like you can use walnut ,pistachios or cashew nuts for making this dry fruit and chocolate fudge. Also raisins can be added in this fudge for different taste. 
After number of trial and error it turned out perfect and It tastes divine. All my family and friends loved this chocolate fudge and according to them it tastes just like big brand ready made chocolates. Now  its super  hit  chocolate desert for my kids.

I have used cocoa powder, milk and almonds for making chocolate almonds fudge. I have used full cream milk (milk with extra cream) for more rich taste. Instead of using milk ,condensed milk can be used,  just don't add sugar if using condensed milk.
