How to Make Eggnog Fudge

  1. Line an 9x9 inch square baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Lightly butter the foil.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 cup eggnog.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula.
  5. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, for exactly 5 minutes. Be diligent about the stirring to prevent burning.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  7. Stir in 1 cup marshmallow creme, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 6 ounces of chopped chocolate), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and melted.
  8. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and 1/4 cup chopped candied cherries.
  9. Spread the fudge evenly in the prepared pan.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
  11. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang.
  12. Cut into squares and serve.
  13. Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
