Egg Nog Fudge

For some reason, I decided to try making some egg nog fudge a couple years ago, and I’m just now getting around to sharing it with you.  It is very egg noggy and very rich!

In a large pan measure out:

3 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup margarine or butter

Add 1 1/4 cup egg nog.  I used my homemade goat’s milk egg nog using my grandmother’s recipe, but you can use purchased egg nog too.

Mix it thoroughly.

Cook it over a medium heat stirring occasionally, just to keep it from sticking.

When it reaches the soft ball stage (238* F) remove it from the heat.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.

After it has cooled to 110* F, beat it thoroughly.  Then spread it into an 8 x 8 baking dish that has been well-buttered.

After it has been thoroughly cooled, cut it.

You can take it out and let it dry a bit.

It’s sure to be a hit!
