Ingredients:
1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder
Pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons lightly toasted almonds, coarsely chopped

Directions:
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with wax paper, allowing the wax paper to extend over the rim of the pan by 2 inches. 

Combine the sweetened condensed milk, the chocolate chips, coffee powder, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Top evenly with the remaining 2 tablespoons of almonds.
Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Remove from the pan and gently peel off the wax paper. Cut into 24 squares.
