Chocolate Almond Fudge Bars
A dense, fudgy Italian-style brownie bar built on melted dark chocolate, butter and ground almonds, with a scattering of toasted whole almonds through the batter and flaked almonds pressed on top after baking. The almond flour keeps the crumb close and moist rather than cakey, echoing the nut-forward sweets of northern Italian baking.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a 10x10cm square tin with baking paper, letting the paper overhang two sides.
2
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler over barely simmering water, stirring until glossy and smooth, then remove from heat.
3
Whisk the sugar into the warm chocolate mixture, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the batter turns glossy and slightly thickened.
4
Sift the almond flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and salt over the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined - do not overmix.
5
Fold in the toasted chopped almonds, then pour the batter into the lined tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
6
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges look set and a toothpick inserted 2cm from the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7
Cool the bars in the tin on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes, then scatter the flaked almonds over the top.
8
Lift out using the paper overhang, cut into 2 squares, and serve.
