Not my favorite taste, but the family LOVED it. I made it as called for except I let it cook at soft ball for a few minutes. I think I should've let it cook even a few minutes longer to set up perfectly. I also did half tsp. rum extract with a half tsp. of vanilla. NO WAY should it be in that small of a pan. I went for an 11 X 8 and it still is going to be fairly thick.

The BEST Fudge Ever! I make this fudge every year during the holidays and give as gifts. Everyone talks about it and looks forward to it all year. I did make a few changes. I used rum extract instead of vanilla. I used pecans (I like them better than walnuts), increased to 1/2 cup and toasted them first to bring out their flavor. I also added 1/2 cup of hand chopped Maraschino cherries. *VERY IMPORTANT*: Make sure you squeeze as much juice out of the cherries with paper/cloth towel before adding them. It overpowers and you will no longer have eggnog fudge. You will have pink Mraschino cherry fudge.

It tasted good, REALLY sugary I thought but everyone else loved it so maybe that was my imagination (I mean, it's fudge right?)... It would NOT set for me, though. I waited overnight, hoping it just needed some extra time, but no luck... I eventually put it in the freezer for 10 just to get it to harden enough to ice cream scoop into cupcake cups as I showed in the pic I submitted. It was still a hit, though, surprisingly.

Even though I am not a big Eggnog fan, I thought that the flavor was good. however, next time I will definitely take the advice of others and decrease the amount of sugar. I am a sweet tooth an even I found it too sweet.

This fudge was amazing! I made it as Christmas presents for my coworkers, and everyone loved it. We all thought it tasted more like gingerbread fudge, though. It was perfect for Christmas!

this fudge tastes just like eggnog. its very sweet. has consistency of a soft cheese. I liked it very much. Although, i gave it a 4 because I'm not a fan of REALLY thick fudge, so I would use a bigger pan like a jelly roll pan or an 11x7 baking dish. using the square pan just made it too thick for me. i cut the pieces in half length wise. Very tasty recipe, though!

Love it. My husband, who has particular tastes when it comes to sweets, raved. Follow the directions and will turn out. Easiest fudge I've ever made and the best.

excellent! a must have for the egg nog lovers. My kids thought it tasted like Chai which is a favoriate in my house. A few tips, instead of buttering a pan, line it with parchment or wax paper, it slides right out and makes for easy cutting, also refredgerate overnight before cutting and use a warm knife and cut very chilled or it will tend to "mush"

Yummy and very easy to make. Mu husband bought vanilla spice flavored egg nog and it came out great. We make fudge every year for the holidays and I have a feeling this is going to be a favorite.

This is awesome fudge, I absolutly loved it. Only thing I noticed was the directions read like you dont have to stir continuously while you're melting everything together, I've always stirred constantly when making fudge and did this time too. The other thing I did was use imitation rum flavoring instead of vanilla. All in all this is a great recipe and I know it will become a favorite holiday treat at my house (and my moms, I gave her the recipe and she cant wait to try it)
