Eggnog Fudge

Need a way to use up any leftover eggnog? Try this fudge it's relatively easy and tastes amazing. Even though a fudge recipe is short and doesn't take much time it still can be a little bit of an art form. Before starting this recipe make sure you have a candy thermometer!!!!! One of the steps requires you to boil some of the ingredients, and they MUST reach a certain temperature or it will never give you the right consistency; leaving you with a gooey mess.

I quadrupled my recipe for the holidays and it made far too much. If you make it for a party I would suggest making a batch and a half, but pouring it into the same pan so you get thicker squares of fudge. A single batch is plenty though!!!

Fair warning this stuff is incredibly addicting.

Eggnog Fudge Recipe

2 C. sugar

1/2 C. salted butter

3/4 C. Eggnog

10.5 Oz. White Chocolate bars - chopped

**(Note: I just use a bag of white chocolate chips)

1/2 tsp. Nutmeg + a little extra to sprinkle on top

7 Oz. jar of Marshmallow creme

1 tsp. Rum or Rum extract

Step 1: Line a pan (you can use square or rectangle - if you double it use a rectangle or 2 squares!) with aluminum foil and lightly butter it.

Step 2: In a large sauce pan boil the sugar butter and eggnog until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees. This will take about 10 minutes, and make sure you are stirring constantly. Take it off the heat.

Step 3: Use a wooden spoon, and QUICKLY add the white chocolate and stir until smooth. Then add the nutmeg, marshmallow creme and rum. When well blended you can pour it in the pan and sprinkle some nutmeg on top to make it pretty!

Step 4: Let it cool at room temperature or put it in the refrigerator until hard. (**I recommend the refrigerator if you have the extra space, it is SIGNIFICANTLY faster)

Step 5: Cut into squares and enjoy!
