Chocolate and coffee go great together. Add a few nuts, and you have a great bite size piece of yumminess!

This is the easiest creamiest fudge I have ever made! I used espresso because I think it adds a richer flavor to the chocolate and, oh my, was it good. I'll definitely be making this for gifts in the future. It's so yummy. The Test Kitchen
