Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this fudge without sweetened condensed milk?

Sweetened condensed milk is essential for the creamy texture, but you could try evaporated milk with added sugar, though the texture may vary.

Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes! Adjust the spices accordingly, as dark chocolate may overpower the eggnog flavor.

How do I get smooth, creamy fudge?

Stir constantly over low heat and avoid overheating the chocolate. Remove from heat immediately once melted.

Can I add alcohol flavorings like rum extract?

Yes, a few drops of rum or brandy extract enhances flavor while keeping it non-alcoholic and kid-friendly.
