Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Fudge Base
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
- Once the mixture is smooth, add the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Set the Fudge
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans (or walnuts) on top and gently press them into the fudge.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Finish and Serve
- Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang and place on a cutting board.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon for garnish, if desired.
- Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes
For a more festive touch, consider adding a splash of rum extract to the fudge mixture before setting it. Adjust the amount of nutmeg and cinnamon to taste for your preference.
