Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Eggnog Fudge.
Step 1
Start by lining a 9-inch square pan with aluminum foil, making sure to leave some overhang for easy removal later. Give the foil a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Next, prepare a large saucepan by spraying the insides with cooking spray as well.
Step 2
In your prepared saucepan, combine the eggnog and white sugar. Place it over medium-high heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Keep an eye on it as you bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once it reaches a boil, let it bubble away for 2 minutes while stirring.
Step 3
Now, it's time to add some festive flair! Fold in the miniature marshmallows and ground nutmeg into the bubbling eggnog mixture. Bring it back to a boil, stirring continuously. Let it boil for another 6 minutes, then promptly remove it from the heat.
Step 4
Add the butterscotch chips and cold butter to the hot mixture. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat the mixture vigorously until everything is well combined and the fudge loses its glossy sheen. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect fudge texture!
Step 5
Pour the luscious fudge into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Allow it to sit at room temperature until it sets, which should take at least 15 minutes. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang, cut it into squares, and enjoy your delightful treat!
