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.

Beat fudge tis year!
Thanks Helen, it is pretty tasty!
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!
Thanks Liz for catching that, I have corrected the recipe. I must have been in la la land when I wrote out the instructions.
I’ve never tried eggnog. Will have to start with this!
Hi Alice, I don’t like eggnog straight up, but I love it in baking and mixed drinks
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.
