White Chocolate Eggnog Fudge

One of the things I enjoy most about the holiday season is all the baking—and the joy of sharing those treats with others. To be honest, I wasn’t always a fan of eggnog. It wasn’t until my youngest son became obsessed with it that I started giving it another chance. Over time, I grew to love it, especially when it’s used in baked goods.

Last year, I whipped up some cookies with eggnog that instantly became a household favorite. Even my husband, who normally isn’t a fan of eggnog, fell in love with them. We ended up making batches for the entire neighborhood! When I tried a fudge version, I was amazed by how good it turned out—and so was my husband, who took one bite and said, “This is actually really good!”

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering eggnog, this white chocolate fudge is bound to impress. It’s rich, creamy, and full of holiday charm—and best of all, it’s easy to make!

1. Prepare Your Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Set it aside.
2. Boil the Eggnog and Sugar: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the eggnog and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it’s boiling, stir constantly for 10 minutes.
3. Add the Remaining Ingredients: Remove from the heat and stir in the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and butter. Mix until fully melted and smooth.
4. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Dust the top with nutmeg and let it cool completely at room temperature. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Helpful Tips for Perfect Fudge

Fudge is simple, but here are some tips to make sure it turns out just right:

• Stick to Real Butter: Margarine contains more water, which can affect how well the fudge sets. Always go with real butter.
• Use a Candy Thermometer: The fudge mixture is ready once it hits 234°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a bit of the mixture in cold water—if it forms a firm ball, it’s ready.
• Add Nuts If You Like: Fold in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for some crunch and added flavor!

Storage Tips

Got leftovers? Here’s how to keep your eggnog fudge fresh and tasty for days (or even weeks).

• In the Fridge: Wrap tightly with foil or plastic wrap, or store in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 1 week.
• In the Freezer: For long-term storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Wrap well or place in a sealed container to avoid freezer burn.
