    You won't be able to resist this incredible recipe for Eggnog Fudge. This rich and creamy fudge has the perfect balance of spice, sweetness and smoothness.

    This recipe for Eggnog Fudge comes from one of my favourite bloggers Recipe Girl. I had a few of my own adaptations like using a fresh vanilla bean and  just a pinch of ground cloves.  I am a firm believer, if you are going to indulge your sweet tooth, make sure you do so with fine quality ingredients. Using fine quality chocolate will definitely elevate the flavour of your fudge. The top of the fudge was sprinkled with a Holiday Spice Infused sugar I had bought a gourmet food store, but you can also use a bit of nutmeg.

    Fudge is a terrific Holiday treat that also makes a great gift. Make a few batches to keep on hand as this fudge freezes great. Eggnog Fudge so tasty and this recipe will make you wish they sold eggnog year round.

      It says marshmallow creme is in the ingredients, but I didn't see in the recipe instructions where it gets added. I added it when I added the white chocolate chips. It seems that may have been the right place to add it in to the sauce pan. Super yummy!

      I've seen this same recipe on many sites, but I've also read in all the comments that some people have trouble with the fudge not ever getting firm. How can we guarantee that the fudge will set up properly and not remain overly soft?

        Most of the recipes that have marshmallow fluff in them will be softer, but I don't find this recipe overly soft.

        Hi Lisa, I have not froze this recipe, but cheesecakes freeze quite well and usually best if not more than a month.

      Would the eggnog fudge be good with regular chocolate chips? Thank you

        I think the chocolate chips would overwhelm the flavour of the eggnog.

      Okay, I normally am not into marshmallow fudges, but dang! This is gooood. Every year I make a ridiculous number of different kinds of fudge. So glad I gave this one a try. It is my new favorite. I followed the directions exactly, and it was perfect. I will definitely make this every year when I go on my fudge frenzies. Yum!

      Hello,
      Am looking to make a few different types of dessert for a gathering in a few weeks. I made a batch of both the eggnog and your candy cane peppermint fudge. (Both delicious by the way!) but was looking to make it in advance to save time. Would you happened to know the shelf life for both fudges? Thank you.

      Made this for the first time and it’s wonderful! I had 11 oz of white chocolate so used it all. I also wanted it to have true eggnog flavor so I used rum and brandy instead of vanilla and OMG! My husband who doesn’t like fudge just had his third piece! Thank you so much for this recipe! It will be a Christmas tradition from now on!

      I did something wrong and have to give this 3 stars even though it tastes great when I scrape the pan. I followed the directions exactly and after stiring 8 min. and testing at 235F and adding the white chocolate it was impossible to stir and way too dry so got out the eggnog and added about 2T more. Then it could be stirred but became very gritty and lumpy. So I took the hand beater out and tried to get the lumps out. Got some but not all. I have poured it into the pan and will have it set. Was there a misprint. It says cook time 4 min. but instructions say bring to boil and cook 8-10. I am not a chef so could adding cold eggnog to a mixture that was hot caused the lumpy issue? The taste could be a 5 star if I can figure out what I did wrong and how to correct. Not sure I can package this up to give as a hostess gift with the texture. Will have to see what happens after 3-4 hrs. in frig. if it seems gritty.

        Hi Janet, sorry for the delayed response. I think it may have got gritty because of adding the extra eggnog, which probably seized up the chocolate. Cooking time is until temperature of 235F, about 8-10 minutes. If temperature went higher than that it could have caused the problem. I just made this fudge and it turned out very creamy, so I do hope you try it again. Also did you use pure white chocolate, not those wafer things?
