Time 20m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups white sugar
¾ cup butter
⅔ cup eggnog
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 inch square pan and set aside.
  • Combine the sugar, butter, eggnog, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to melt the butter. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, stop stirring, and clip a candy thermometer onto the pan.
  • Heat mixture to 235 degrees F (113 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate pieces, marshmallow cream, vanilla, and walnuts. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until fluffy and it starts to lose its gloss. Spoon into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Cool completely, then cut into small squares for serving.

Tips:

  • For a smoother fudge, use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature (234°F/112°C).
  • Do not overcook the sugar mixture, as this can cause the fudge to become grainy.
  • Stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • If the fudge becomes too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • If the fudge is too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • To make peppermint fudge, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the fudge mixture.
  • To make chocolate fudge, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the fudge mixture.
  • To make peanut butter fudge, add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the fudge mixture.
  • Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze the fudge for up to 3 months.
