We have been making this fudge at the holiday season for years, if cooking time is followed directly this will produce a wonderful fudge that tastes just as good maybe even better than the fudge prepared with a candy thermometer but you won't need one for this! - this is sure to become a favorite at the holiday season - use only store-bought full-fat eggnog for this :) Ingredients:
1/8 cup butter (no substitutes) |
2 3/4 cups white sugar |
1 cup commercial good quality eggnog (not low fat) |
6 ounces white chocolate chips |
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows |
1 cup almonds, chopped coarsely |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 pinch nutmeg (optional) |
Directions:
1. Line a 9x9-inch pan with aluminum foil; set aside.
2. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, add eggnog and sugar, bring to a rolling boil over medium to med-high heat (watch that mixture does not boil over the pot, if boiling to hard, turn down heat slightly, but continue a rapid boil), stirring constantly; boil for 2 minutes (this must be timed for exactly 2 minutes).
3. Remove from heat; stir in the marshmallows, cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg (if using).
4. Put saucepan back on element; bring back to a rolling boil for another 6 minutes, stirring constantly, again, turn down the heat if mixture is boiling to hard.
5. The mixture will start to turn a brown colour, which is normal.
6. After boiling for the full 6 minutes; remove from heat; add the butter, vanilla chips and nuts.
7. Stir rapidly, until mixture has a glossy appearance, and the chips and butter are well mixed.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan.
9. Cool at room temperature.
10. Remove from pan lifting up sides of foil.
11. Remove the foil from the fudge; cut in small squares.
