• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap, letting wrap overhang sides.
2. Combine sugar, butter, salt, and milk in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla, almond extract, and almonds and transfer to prepared pan. Chill until firm, about 3 hours. Remove from pan by lifting plastic. Carefully peel wrap and cut fudge into 1-1/4-inch squares. Store, covered, in refrigerator.
