Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Eggnog Fudge Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preparing a 9-inch square baking pan.
Step 2
Line it with aluminum foil, ensuring thereโs an overhang on both sides for easy removal later.
Step 3
Lightly grease the foil with a teaspoon of butter to prevent sticking.
Step 4
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, eggnog, and half a cup of butter.
Step 5
Heat over medium, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
Step 6
Once boiling, keep stirring for five minutes to achieve that perfect creamy texture.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and introduce the vanilla candy melts and marshmallow cream, stirring until the mixture is silky smooth.
Step 8
Add in the rum extract for that festive kick.
Step 9
Pour the luscious fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 10
For a touch of holiday flair, lightly sprinkle ground nutmeg on top.
Step 11
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, letting those flavors meld beautifully.
Step 12
Once cooled, score the fudge into 36 pieces with a knife, creating a guide for cutting later.
Step 13
Place the fudge in the refrigerator to firm up, which should take around an hour.
Step 14
When set, use the foil overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut through the scored lines with a large knife.
Step 15
Enjoy your delightful homemade fudge, perfect for sharing or indulging!.
