How to Make Eggnog Fudge

1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch pan with aluminum foil and coat it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the butter, sugar, and eggnog. Stir over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Heat to Perfection: Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. This ensures the right consistency for your fudge.
4. Remove and Stir: Take the pan off the heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir until they are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Add Flavorings: Mix in the marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, and grated nutmeg until everything is well combined.
6. Spread Evenly: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
7. Optional Garnish: If you like, sprinkle a little extra grated nutmeg on top for an extra festive touch.
8. Cool and Cut: Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil, cut into squares, and enjoy!
