Eggnog Fudge
Creamy Eggnog Fudge makes the ultimate holiday treat! Rich and creamy fudge with the festive taste of classic eggnog, white chocolate and warm holiday spices. Perfect Christmas fudge recipe for holiday baking or a homemade candy gift.
This recipe for Eggnog Fudge is adapted from one of my favourite bloggers Recipe Girl. I used a fresh vanilla bean and just a pinch of ground cloves. When it comes to baking I always use fine quality ingredients, make indulging your sweet tooth worth it! Fine quality white chocolate will definitely elevate the flavor of this fudge recipe. The vanilla bean has a more intense flavor and the speckled appearance looks so nice in the fudge. The top of the fudge is 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. This recipe is so tasty you will wish the sold eggnog year round!

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!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, I think I’m going to be trying the rum and brandy. Sounds yummy. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Hi I don’t have any Vanilla bean can I use vanilla extract in it’s place & if so how much would you suggest ? Thank you. This sounds delicious !
Hi Robin, absolutely you can substitute a teaspoon of pure vanilla extra. Enjoy.
Thank you !
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.
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!
Thank you Jill, it is one of my favourite fudge recipes as well, but way too addictive lol.
Would the eggnog fudge be good with regular chocolate chips? Thank you
I think the chocolate chips would overwhelm the flavour of the eggnog.
Can this be frozen and if so – how long?
Hi Lisa, I have not froze this recipe, but cheesecakes freeze quite well and usually best if not more than a month.
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.
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
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.
You were in fudge land..thanks for the recipe.
Beat fudge tis year!
Thanks Helen, it is pretty tasty!
