Tips to Make an Inspired by Disney Eggnog Fudge
- Use a candy thermometer like this one here. You don’t want to scorch the chocolate so go with the old fashioned candy thermometer.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, not wax paper or aluminum foil. The only thing that hasn’t stuck (for me, at least) is parchment paper. There’s no wax on parchment paper so you don’t have to worry about it bonding with the fudge.
- I recommend using a baking dish with straight corners, not the curved ones. You could end up with 4 corner pieces that look odd when you stack them for gifting. Of course, you could always just eat those four pieces yourself…

First, use parchment paper to line an 8×8 baking sheet.
Combine the butter, eggnog and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches 225 degrees.
Stir in the white chocolate until the morsels are melted and then spoon-in the marshmallow creme, vanilla and nutmeg. Stir until smooth.
Remove from heat and immediately pour into the prepared baking dish.Allow the fudge to crust over for about 15 minutes then sprinkle the top nutmeg and cinnamon.
Allow the fudge to sit at room temperature for 3 hours, turn and lift off the parchment paper, and cut the fudge into 1 inch squares.
How to Gift Fudge as Presents and Party Favors
I’m often asked about all of my gifts in a jar recipes and themed ideas, but the most often asked is, “how do I gift fudge?” And the best thing I can tell you is that you have a few ways.
- Dollar Tree Treat Tins – The dollar stores get TONS of food tins that are already festive enough for anyone. Just cut the entire 8×8 pan and place on a new piece of parchment in the tin.
- Festive Parchment Paper Wraps – A little baker’s twine and some holiday parchment paper are all you really need to make a wow-worthy gift. Wrap the fudge in plastic wrap, then the parchment, and tie up with a pretty baker’s twine bow.
- Individual Party Favors – If you want to send everyone home with a sweet treat, add a larger piece of fudge on parchment (about 2 inches) to a cellophane bag. Tie it up with a ribbon, add a gift tag, and dole them out!
- Gift in a Jar – Cut 1-inch squares and place each on a 1-inch piece of parchment. You can use regular or the holiday parchments that come out around the holidays. Either way, stack them up and gift the jar with a bamboo skewer or long-handled spoon.
