Double Layer Coffee Almond Fudge

dizzydi's Note:

A Delicious two layer fudge with almonds and a touch of coffee, This fudge is quite rich and I normally make it in a small batch but you could easily double it and use a larger pan. It uses both dark and white chocolate and keeps well in the fridge for a couple of weeks. A nice fudge for a special occasion. I normally serve this fudge cut into small rectangular pieces.

I know I probably ruined this recipe for all coffee lovers, but I couldn't bring myself to include that one ingredient! And still, the resulting little nuggets of sweetness were great! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL FUDGE, & a definite keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed as a recipenapped tag in the Aus/NZ Special Recipe Swap #19]
