Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c eggnog (not low-fat), high quality
2 3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 c mini marshmallows
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
2 Tbsp butter
6 oz white chocolate chips
1 c almonds, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • 1. Line a 9x9 pan with aluminum foil; set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine eggnog and sugar; stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil over medium to medium-high heat. Boil for exactly 2 minutes. Watch that the mixture does not boil over the pot; if it's boiling too hard, turn down the heat slightly, but continue a rapid boil.
  • 2. Remove from heat. Stir in the marshmallows, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg until marshmallows have melted and are well combined. Return to saucepan to heat; bring back to a rolling boil for 6 minutes, stirring constantly. Again, turn down the heat if the mixture threatens to boil over. The mixture will start to turn a brown color, which is normal.
  • 3. After boiling for the full 6 minutes, remove from heat. Add the butter, white chocolate chips and almonds. Beat until the mixture has a glossy appearance and the chips and butter are mixed in well.
  • 4. Pour the mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan. Cool to room temperature. Remove from pan, using sides of foil as handles. Peel the foil away from the fudge and cut into small squares. Makes 15 servings.

2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 c chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 c slivered almonds, toasted and chopped
1/2 c chopped red candied cherries
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Line an 8" x 4" loafpan with aluminum foil, butter foil, and set aside. Combine first 4 ingredients in a 4-quart heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Wash down crystals from sides of pan, using a pastry brush dipped in hot water. Insert a candy thermometer into eggnog mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thermometer registers 238 degrees. Remove from heat and cool, undisturbed, until temperature drops to 190 degrees (15 to 18 minutes).

  • 3. Pour candy into prepared pan. Cool completely; cut into squares. Yield:about 1 1/2 pounds.
  • 4. Your finished fudge looks so festive and delish!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of 60% or higher is a good choice.
  • Make sure the heavy cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up more quickly and easily.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the fudge grainy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is done.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
