Yield: 1 9×9 inch pan

Ingredients:

• 1/8 cup butter
• 2 3/4 cups white sugar
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 6 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 1 cup full-fat eggnog
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pan:

   • Line a 9×9-inch pan with aluminum foil; set aside.

2. Boil Eggnog Mixture:

   • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add eggnog and sugar, bring to a rolling boil over medium to medium-high heat (watch that mixture does not boil over the pot, if boiling too hard, turn down heat slightly, but continue a rapid boil), stirring constantly; boil for 2 minutes (this must be timed for exactly 2 minutes).

3. Add Marshmallows and Spices:

   • Remove from heat; stir in the marshmallows, cinnamon, and pinch of nutmeg (if using).

4. Continue Boiling:

   • Put saucepan back on the element; bring back to a rolling boil for another 6 minutes, stirring constantly, again, turn down the heat if the mixture is boiling too hard.
   • The mixture will start to turn a brown color, which is normal.

5. Incorporate Remaining Ingredients:

   • After boiling for the full 6 minutes; remove from heat; add the butter, vanilla chips, and nuts (if using).
   • Stir rapidly until the mixture has a glossy appearance, and the chips and butter are well mixed.

6. Pour and Cool:

   • Pour the mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan.
   • Cool at room temperature.

7. Serve:

   • Remove from the pan lifting up sides of foil.
   • Remove the foil from the fudge; cut into small squares.
