You could chop the almonds before or after toasting.
Double the recipe and use an 8 x 8 inch pan for setting.
The fudge takes around 2 hours to set in room temperature. You could refrigerate for 45 minutes if u are in a greater rush.
This can be stored for one week at room temperature or the refrigerator.
For a double boiler , place the chopped chocolate in a metal or glass bowl, place this over a saucepan with very little water. The bottom of the bowl should snugly fit in the saucepan without touching the water. Place over stove top on low heat. Stir often while melting.
After sprinkling the almonds, press gently to make sure they are set in the fudge or they will come off while slicing.
