Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 11 TBSP salted butter
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- pinch salt
- 10 1/2 oz white chocolate chips or chopped chunks (I use ghiradelli)
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
Instructions
- Line an 8×8” baking pan with parchment paper with enough to hang over the sides. This makes it easy to remove later.
- In a large heavy saucepan, mix the sugar, butter, eggnog, and salt over medium heat. Stir while it comes to a rolling boil. Continue boiling and stirring constantly for 8 to 10 minutes until a thermometer reaches 234 degrees.
- Remove from the heat. Immediately stir in the white chocolate and nutmeg until melted and smooth. Stir in the marshmallow creme and rum extract. Pour into the parchment paper lined pan. Sprinkle a little ground nutmeg over the top.
- Allow it to cool fully at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight until solid. Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Notes
Note: a candy thermometer is the most accurate, but I’ve always used a basic meat thermometer because I don’t make candy often enough to warrant one more gadget.
