Sweets for the Holidays

It's always fun to indulge in a few extra sweets during the holiday season, so I'm including a recipe for a delectable Eggnog Fudge! I hope that you and your family will enjoy this recipe, and I wish you all a day that is overflowing with love, mercy and hope.

Eggnog Fudge

1/8 cup butter, chilled
3 cups sugar
1 cup eggnog
6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup mini-marshmallows
1 cup almonds, chopped
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Line a 9" x 9" cake pan with aluminum foil (set aside). Spray the sides of a large saucepan with a non-stick spray and add the eggnog and sugar, and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat - stir constantly! Boil for two full minutes.

Fold in the marshmallows, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring back to a rolling boil for another 6 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture will start to turn brown, which is normal, but if you see brown flakes in the mixture, simply turn down the heat a little.

Remove from heat and add the butter, chips, and nuts. Stir until thoroughly mixed or until the mixture starts to lose its glossy appearance. Pour into prepared pan. Cool at room temperature. Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into 1-inch squares. Enjoy!

Enjoy & Seasons Greetings!
