Eggnog Fudge
Description
Eggnog Fudge features a base of sugar, butter, and eggnog heated to a soft ball stage, where it thickens upon cooling. Adding chopped white chocolate, marshmallow cream, and vanilla to the hot syrup creates a glossy, fluffy fudge mixture that sets into a creamy, smooth consistency. The nutmeg added during cooking and for sprinkling gives the fudge its characteristic warm spice note, distinguishing it from plain fudge.
The preparation requires careful temperature control to reach the 235°F soft ball stage, essential for achieving the proper texture. Spoon the mixture into a greased pan to cool completely before cutting into squares. This fudge is a good choice for gifting or serving at holiday gatherings where classic festive flavors are appreciated.
