Coconut-Almond Fudge Cups Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling
  • Yield: 48 Servings
30 10 40

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 7 large marshmallows
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • TOPPING:
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, butter and egg until well blended. Shape into 1-in. balls; place in foil-lined miniature muffin cups. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes.
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 1/2-in.-deep indentation in the center of each cup. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
  • For filling, in a microwave-safe bowl, heat sugar and milk on high for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Stir in coconut. Spoon into cooled cups.
  • For topping, in another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, milk and butter. Microwave in 10- to 20-second intervals until melted; stir until smooth. Stir in almonds. Spread over filling. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 4 dozen.

Tip

Homemade Candy Bars

After Easter, I make the most of leftover chocolate bunnies or other chocolate shapes. I melt 2 pounds of these chocolate pieces in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe dish. (Stir until melted and smooth, but don’t add butter or milk because it will cause the finished product to crumble.) Then I add a cup of nuts, raisins, coconut or crisp rice cereal and pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch square pan. It’s easiest to cut the chocolate into squares just after it has begun to set. This candy is so good, I sometimes buy marked-down chocolate after the holidays just so I can make this. —Mary Karkut, Shelton, Connecticut
