Who doesn’t love FUDGE?? There are SO MANY kinds, I have multiple recipes myself, right here on my blog. The others all all chocolate — dark chocolate, milk chocolate, full of nuts or candy — this eggnog fudge? This fudge here is different.
The texture alone will have you falling in love. So smooth and creamy. But if you are like us, and you love eggnog – – you will need to make this recipe STAT.
It’ll be sure to be on your Christmas baking list, year after year.
This recipe isn’t new to my blog. I actually blogged this fudge recipe for the first time back in 2013. I got it from one of the first bloggers I had ever “met” when I started, Joan, from Chocolate, Chocolate and More.
This white chocolate eggnog fudge has always done crazy well at Christmastime for me, but the photos were not great, and I decided this year it would get a recipe revamp!
Have you ever made your own eggnog? Typically, I have always purchased mine at the store, but this year, after reading so much about homemade, I will definitely be trying to make it from scratch!
So the other day, I made it again, and after that first bite — Yep. Still amazing.

Im not an eggnog fan, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE egg nog in fudge and cookies! This is just the best idea for Christmas and giving as a gift to the neighbors! I just pinned it to have for just that reason!
Oooh, we definitely are fans of egg nog! It’s super rich so I’m usually fine with a little each season, but now I have a fun way to use the rest of the egg nog carton. I could eat a batch of this delicious treat by myself, but I’ll share 🙂
