directions

  • Bring the sugar, butter and eggnog to a full boil in a heavy medium-size saucepan.
  • Continue to boil for 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat, or 234°F on a candy thermometer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips and the grated nutmeg, stirring until the chocolate is melted.
  • Add marshmallow creme and the rum or rum extract; beat until well blended.
  • Pour into a buttered 8 or 9-inch square pan.
  • Cool at room temperature, then cut into squares.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. May be frozen for up to three weeks.

Questions & Replies

  1. Taste was great but mine did not set at all? Any suggestions please
     
  2. I made this last night but it didn't set up. Admittedly, I'm not the best at candy making. Could someone help me troubleshoot? At any rate, the taste is divine!

  1. This is very flavorful but WAY too sweet. I will make again but will cut back on the sugar or may even leave it out. There is probably enough sweetness from the white chocolate and marshmallow cream.
     
  2. I'm tell you what anyone who is anyone that loves eggnog will LOVE this fudge! This is my white fudge to make for the holidays I would have never thought that it would taste so much like eggnog with that little bit of eggnog it called for%u2026..I am telling you it tastes so much like eggnog I was thrilled! I put the nutmeg in before the white chocolate and marshmallow cream and added the rum. It tastes just like spiked eggnog THANK YOU so much for sharing!
     
  3. I am not a baker because I hate to measure, so I rarely even try to make desserts. I was thrilled with the way this turned out for me. The kids love it. I did not put the rum or the rum extract in it and it is delicious anyway. Thanks, I will make this again.
     
  4. Not much of an eggnog flavor. I added vanilla and cinnamon to give it a little more flavor. Recipe is overwhelmingly sweet, but the spiced rum adds a nice kick.
     
  5. I made this yesterday, but it didn't fully set. Anyone else?

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Married to my sweetheart for almost forty years and we have two wonderful children who are grown and have flown the coop. Also, we have been blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful daughter-in-law, plus FIVE grandchildren: two beautiful granddaughters ages five and eight, and three sweet adorable little grandsons ages 2 months, 2 years and 3 years. My husband and I share a combination of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, German and French heritage, and our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are both Hispanic. We've traveled extensively to many countries abroad (we lived in Germany), and have traveled and lived in several states here in the U.S.A. Many of the recipes I post here are influenced by our combined heritage or from our travels, or they are old family favorites that I want to share with you. I hope you enjoy! Have been to culinary school with many years of cooking (mostly for my family) under my belt, so know my way around a kitchen. And I'm very lucky to have the best sous chef in the world, dddddh! One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin! I have several of his cookbooks, and enjoy watching his television cooking show Fast Food My Way. Another top favorite is Julia Child (of course!). A few other chefs I read/enjoy watching on t.v. are: Giada At Home, Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites, and Patti's Mexican Kitchen, and many more. On my bucket list is dining at Thomas Keller's establishment The French Laundry in Napa Valley, California... as well as Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and the James Beard award winning Tartine Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco. One day!! &nbsp; Hobbies/Interests: Decorating with fresh flowers and herbs from the garden is my passion, and brings me deep joy! It's really hard to beat!! I love connecting with others who enjoy the same. Gardening, decorating, sewing, music, dancing, film, and reading are also up there. Spending quality time with my grandchildren, family, and friends (and cooking holiday meals!). Currently, a newfound passion has been so richly rewarding for me: genealogical research. I heart ancestry dot com. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE cats--we have two half-Siamese fur babies (cats) that allow us to live here!!&nbsp; &nbsp; A Note of Thanks~ I try to personally thank everyone who kindly makes and reviews my recipes, but sometimes I am busy, late, or may forget. Please know that I am always humbled that you would try one of my recipes, and I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing all the pretty photographs. Thanks so much!&nbsp;</p>
