Tips for making Coconut Almond Fudge Bars

• Even if you are allergic to chocolate (or don’t want to eat it) you can still make these bars, just use carob powder instead of cocoa. Be sure to add the chocolate extract, it helps the flavor.
• Be sure to follow the directions on using the parchment paper. If not, you will be chipping the fudge out of the pan!
