Note

Store the fudge in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness and prevent melting in warm temperatures.

If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the coffee liqueur and increase the amount of strong coffee slightly, or use coffee extract.

Ensure you stir the sugar mixture constantly while boiling to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

For best results, use a candy thermometer to check that the sugar mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235F-240F) if you do not have a timer, though the 5-minute boil is a reliable guideline.

You can substitute the almond bark with vanilla white chocolate chips if preferred, but ensure they are melted smoothly.
