Let’s make some sweet holiday memories together. 🎅✨

What You’ll Need

  • 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup eggnog
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Pro Tips

  1. Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best texture and flavor. Cheap ones can get grainy.
  2. Don’t overheat the mixture—low and slow is the way to go to keep it smooth and creamy.
  3. Sprinkle nutmeg on top while the fudge is still warm for a festive look!
  4. Chill the fudge overnight if you want perfect, clean cuts.
  5. Let the kids sprinkle the nutmeg—they’ll feel like pro chefs!

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • 8×8-inch baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Substitutions & Variations

  • No eggnog? Swap it for heavy cream and add ½ tsp more nutmeg.
  • Want a boozy twist? Stir in 1 tbsp of rum extract or real rum for grown-up fudge.
  • Dairy-free? Use coconut milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips.
