Eggnog Fudge Creamy Holiday Squares (Printable)

White chocolate and eggnog blended with warm spices, chilled to set and cut into festive squares.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fudge Base

01 - 3 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
03 - 1/2 cup eggnog
04 - 2 cups granulated sugar
05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Optional Garnish

08 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

# Method:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine unsalted butter, eggnog, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
03 - Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
04 - Remove saucepan from heat. Add white chocolate chips, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is uniformly smooth.
05 - Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
06 - Evenly sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg over the top, if desired.
07 - Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 2 hours until firm.
08 - Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 36 equal squares with a sharp knife.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • Your friends will believe you spent hours making it, but it’s breezy enough for a weeknight blitz.
  • The creamy texture and fragrant spices make every bite feel like a surprise party for your taste buds.
02 -
  • Don’t rush the melting—if the chocolate seizes, the fudge goes grainy and there’s no turning back.
  • I discovered letting the fudge cool slightly before refrigerating keeps condensation from forming on top.
03 -
  • Let the fudge mixture rest for a minute after removing from heat before stirring in white chocolate—this prevents accidental graininess.
  • A sharp, lightly oiled knife makes perfect, clean cuts every time.
