Whoever decided to start making and serving fudge around the holidays deserves my thanks. Fudge itself began as an accident in the late 1800s when a chocolate maker accidentally botched the making of French caramels. Baltimore, Maryland, is where fudge first originated, and fudge is named after the fact that the creator fudged and a fabulous sweet treat was born.

Eggnog Fudge Recipe

Fudge is extremely popular due to how easy it is to adjust and make new flavors. It is amazing all the flavors of fudge you can find and some people can be quite creative with it.

Whether you are making fudge for the holidays, a gift, or simply as a lovely confection to have in your home, this eggnog fudge recipe is one you will want to make and share again and again with your friends, family, and coworkers.

Tips and variations for making this eggnog fudge recipe:

● ½ cup of Butter is eight (8) tablespoons or one (1) stick in the United States.
● If you plan on making 36 servings, that is cutting 6 rows x 6 rows. If you plan on making 25 servings, that is cutting 5 rows by 5 rows.
● If you do not have rum extract in a pinch, substitute rum liquor.

● Place one sheet of parchment paper across the pan. Place the second sheet of parchment paper across the first sheet (to form an +).
● It is best if the rest of the ingredients are not altered as they specifically complement or counteract each other in the perfect manner. I would not be able to offer any other suggestions as substitutions that would work in the same manner.
● Fudge can be stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last up to two weeks in either situation. Fudge should never be stored at room temperature due to its ingredients.
