  • Granulated sugar - 1.5 cups

  • Nutmeg - 1/2 tsp
  • Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
  • Salt - 1/4 tsp

Directions

  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the eggnog, white chocolate chips, butter, granulated sugar, marshmallow fluff, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. It should take about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Using an electric mixer, beat the fudge mixture on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  8. Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into small squares or desired shapes.
  9. Serve the eggnog fudge immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
