Categories     Candies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c eggnog (not low-fat), high quality
2 3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 c mini marshmallows
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
2 Tbsp butter
6 oz white chocolate chips
1 c almonds, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 9x9 pan with aluminum foil; set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine eggnog and sugar; stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil over medium to medium-high heat. Boil for exactly 2 minutes. Watch that the mixture does not boil over the pot; if it's boiling too hard, turn down the heat slightly, but continue a rapid boil.
  • 2. Remove from heat. Stir in the marshmallows, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg until marshmallows have melted and are well combined. Return to saucepan to heat; bring back to a rolling boil for 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Again, turn down the heat if the mixture threatens to boil over. The mixture will start to turn a brown color, which is normal.
  • 3. After boiling for the full 6 minutes, remove from heat. Add the butter, white chocolate chips and almonds. Beat until the mixture has a glossy appearance and the chips and butter are mixed in well.
  • 4. Pour the mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan. Cool to room temperature. Remove from pan, using sides of foil as handles. Peel the foil away from the fudge and cut into small squares. Makes 15 servings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh eggs, milk, and cream will give your eggnog fudge the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. Cook it just until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Eggnog fudge is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holidays. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your eggnog fudge turns out perfectly every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
