Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the 8″ x 8″ inch pan
• 3 cups of mini marshmallows, (make sure they are fresh)
• 1 cup granulated white sugar, (I use organic pure cane sugar and it works very well)
• ½ cup eggnog, (store-bought is fine!)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels, (use the best quality you can find, it does make a difference)
• 1 tablespoon or more of Holiday-themed sprinkles *optional

Instructions

1. Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan with butter and then line with 2 pieces of parchment paper that is crisscrossed, leaving an overhang. Butter the paper and set aside the pan. This step helps enable you to remove the formed fudge from the pan with ease later on.
2. Using a medium or large saucepan over low-medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of butter, 3 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup eggnog, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently until the mini marshmallows are melted, this may take 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, add ½ teaspoon vanilla & 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels, stir until the chocolate is fully melted and everything is combined. Pour into prepared 8" x 8" pan. Allow cooling for 30 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon or more of Holiday-themed sprinkles over the top 15 minutes into cooling. Cover and transfer to refrigerator and set for 1 hour.
4. When the fudge is completely set, use the overhang of the parchment paper to gently lift the fudge onto a cutting board to cut for serving. Package in jars or boxes if you are gift-giving. Enjoy!

Notes

You can store this Chocolate Eggnog Fudge in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
