Mmm more eggnog deliciousness coming out of the kitchen! I am enamored with the flavor of eggnog being infused into baked goods – all that great flavor, without actually drinking it (it just seems way too thick to me!). Has anyone given the Eggnog Cheesecake Bars a try yet? I could totally see having those for breakfast on Christmas morning 
I mean, it’s sort like a Danish, right?? Now onto this amazing fudge… By far the most texture-perfect fudge I have made to date. It’s smooth, creamy and melts in your mouth. Not to mention packed with delicious eggnog flavor, spiked with nutmeg and some rum extract. Definitely a must-add to your holiday cookie trays!

This is a quasi-easy fudge recipe has a white chocolate base, but isn’t overpowered by the sometimes too-sweet flavor, thanks to a large dose of eggnog, butter and nutmeg. The marshmallow creme gives it a fabulous consistency. Like any fudge, this one involves pretty much constant stirring, but it doesn’t take that long to all come together. For the first time, I didn’t use my candy thermometer and instead used my instant-read digital thermometer and I’m thinking that it might be the key to better texture. I started checking the temperature every 30 seconds or so once the mixture had been boiling for about 5 minutes, until it hit 234 degrees.
Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup eggnog
Pinch salt
10½ ounces white chocolate, chopped
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus a little more for dusting the top of the fudge
One 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon rum extract
Directions:
1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and let it hang over the side; set aside.
2. In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, eggnog and salt over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 8 to 10 minutes, until a candy thermometer reaches 234 degrees F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
3. Using a wooden spoon, work quickly to stir in chopped white chocolate and nutmeg until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in marshmallow creme and rum extract. Beat until well blended and then pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle a little freshly ground nutmeg on top. Let stand at room temperature until cooled, then refrigerate overnight until firm.
4. When completely cool, cut into squares. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
