I made three differant types of fudge this year from my Christmas Tray and this was really good. I've always had trouble getting the right consistancy for fudge and these directions made it really easy. I used a candy thermometer to measure the boiling time and it came out creamy and smooth. I did chill for about 2 hours to make sure it would cut and it was great. A differant taste from regular fudge and a nice treat. Thanks for posting.

I made this as one of three fudges for my Christmas baskets, and I know people are just going to love it! I have never heard of, made, or eaten eggnog fudge before. I am not a huge eggnog fan, but this tastes just like a vanilla milkshake (I think)! I have to admit, I did change a few things though: In place of the nutmeg in the fudge, I used cinnamon, and I sprinkled a little allspice on top of the fudge after it had cooled a little bit. I also used vanilla extract in place of rum extract. I also used a (12 oz.) bag of white chocolate chips instead of bar chocolate, and I omitted the nuts - I'm SORRY! Here, have some fudge. :) I boiled my mixture for 10 minutes, and I used a 9x12 pan, since I wanted to make a lot. The consistency was out of this world, perfect! I plan on trying it with maybe brandy extract..? My husband wants me to put nutmeg in it next time, and he doesn't even care for fudge OR white chocolate (but he loves eggnog). So, yeah, this one's a keeper. This is permanently on my holiday baking list. Thank you!

This is a keeper!! I used white almond bark instead of milk chocolate. I should never have made it! I can't keep my hands out of it! I didn't have any rum extract so I used vanilla rum instead. Next time I will leave out the pecans. It was very easy to make. The only problem I had (besides making a pig out of myself with it) is that it stuck like heck to my pan. I thought I had buttered the pan enough, but I guess not.
