Preparation
-
1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
2.In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a crumbly dough.
-
3.Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a firm and even crust.
-
4.In a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
-
5.Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
6.Pour the chocolate fudge filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
-
7.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
-
8.Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
-
9.Once cooled, cut into desired bar sizes and serve.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Almond flour — If you have a nut allergy, you can omit the almond flour and use an additional ¼ cup of all-purpose flour instead. This will slightly alter the texture of the crust but still result in delicious bars.
- Sweetened condensed milk — Make sure to use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk, as they are different products with distinct flavors and consistencies.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some flaky sea salt on top of the bars before baking.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean and neat slices.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Serving advice
Serve these Decadent Chocolate Fudge Bars at room temperature or slightly warmed. They are delicious on their own but can be accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, dust the bars with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving. You can also garnish each bar with a fresh raspberry or a mint leaf for a pop of color.
