I adore Eggnog. Creamy, thick, that eggy, sweet flavor. I just can’t get enough of it. As soon as I see it on the shelves, I start stocking up. I have no idea why grocery stores and really, dairies, torture me all year long. Only selling it for about 4 weeks out of the year. Usually it shows up the week before Thanksgiving, and then about the second week of December is the last shipment shipped to stores.

And 2 of the kids love it as much as I do. I have to fight for every drop. Is it wrong of me to say I’m glad the hubby and the picky eater don’t like it? And why can’t you buy it by the gallon? My local grocery store only sells quarts. Common, really? I can’t walk into the house with just a few quarts of this heavenly nectar. I’f I go to the “big” store I can get a half gallon. I’m still buying 3 at a time.

Don’t think this is a lot. Remember, it’s only half gallon jugs. When I buy milk, I buy 3 GALLONS at a time. If we have fresh, still warm out of the oven cookies, you can see close to a gallon disappear at that one sitting. There are 5 of us after all.

And I know I can make my own eggnog but I haven’t found a recipe I like yet.

So, since it’s eggnog season, and I can get my hands on it for the next few weeks, I’m taking full advantage.
I’ve got a few treats you can make with eggnog and I’ll share them all but I wanted to start with this fudge.

Crap, now she likes eggnog too.

About Grace

When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

      The eggnog white chocolate is not good ): I made it and it is way to rich…so rich you can not handle more than a bite or two.. We all thought it was YUK

    • Susan Varner says

      I think I’m thinking the same thing Lynn to be honest. Very disappointed here. Oh well… back to the drawing board. 🙁

    • Mel says

      Yes the fudge might have tasted more like white chocolate than eggnog BUT THIS IS A FUDGE RECIPE!!! TOO RICH???? WHY ARE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT FUDGE RECIPES IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE RICH DESSERTS! FUDGEEE IS CONCENTRATED SUGAR!!!!! YOUR CRAZY IF YOU THINK FUDGE IS NOT GONA TURN OUT SUPER SWEET. NO ONE CARES THAT YOU DIDNT LIKE IT YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME POSTING THAT NONSENSE. ALL 6 PEOPLE THAT TRIED IT LOVED IT. THEY ALL COMMENTED THAT IT WAS GREAT EVEN WITH THE VERY SUTTLE HINT OF EGGNOG.

    • Susan Varner says

      Mel… for starters, there is no need to be so RUDE about other peoples’ comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion (even RANTERS like you), and although 6 people may have made it and loved it, it’s obvious that some of us also made it and didn’t like it. Did you not stop to think that maybe a comment about a problem with the recipe, or a query about how it comes out, might actually be a platform for that issue to invite comments back that might be helpful and SOLVE it? Rather than a vitriolic outpouring of idiocy such as yours.

      Not all fudges are super sweet or super rich. You obviously haven’t been across the full board of recipes. I don’t feel that I’m “wasting my time” replying to you because you need a little educating. Which brings me to another point – try using a spell-checker or buy yourself a dictionary.

    • Carolyn says

      I’m also disappointed by this fudge – all I can taste is white chocolate and it makes me sad.

    I know the feeling of having to have some delicious eggnog at this time of year! If you find a store that carries a gallon size, let me know:-) 3 gallons at a time is nothing!!! Gorgeous looking fudge Joan!!!

    Eggnog and I have a weird relationship, but despite that, this fudge still looks amazing and I can only imagine how delectable that bite would taste! So sweet + delectable. Yum!!
