This to me was just ok. It turned out a bit dry. My husband loved it. I like egg nog but it was not my favorite.

This fudge definately tasted like eggnog! It smelled wonderfully festive while cooking. I added butterscotch chips instead of the white chocolate. Definitely went well with the nutmeg sprinkled on top.

After attempting to make this recipe twice with no success, I reduced the sugar to 2 cups and boiled for 5 minutes instead of 6 and it turned out perfectly. It's still sweet, so cut into small pieces. Also, pour into an 8x8 inch pan; 9x13 is too thin.

I made this last Christmas to give out to family in treat bags as gifts. Everyone loved it! I had quite a bit left over so what I didn't keep for myself I took to work with me. My tin was empty in no time! I will definitely be making this recipe again :)

Ended up VERY unappealing. The recipe calls for too much spice for the tastes of everyone who tried it, and mine was both mushy and grainy. On the plus side, it was quick and cleanup was pretty easy.

I brought this fudge to a cookie exchange. I warned everyone because I am not the best cook. It went over really well. People who were not even the biggest fans of egg nog, like my roommate, liked it. It is really sweet and if your not closely watching it at all times, it can "burn" and get really hard when it cools. I made 8 batches of this fudge for my cookie exchange and 5 of them turned out ok. The first one really well and then progressivly got worse. It seemed like 6 minutes was too long, I did it more for like 4 -5 minutes and I agree with less sugar and possibly more eggnog ... but overall it is quick if you're only making one batch it is easy, you just have to watch it .. like a toddler!!

This is quite good and different! After reading the reviews i made some alterations. I only used 2 cups of sugar instead of 3 because everyone was saying how sweet it was. Also, i added an extra half cup of eggnog, as everyone was saying it was too crumbly and dry. I cut it before it was fully finished hardening up to prevent any breakage as well. My boyfriend loved it and ate quite a few pieces. It is still super sweet even with only 2 cups of sugar. I might try 1 1/2 cups next time. Tip: Make sure you put it in a 9x9 pan because it was way too thin in a 9x13.

Disaster. I followed the recipe instructions but reduced the sugar by 1/2 cup based on other reviews regarding the sweetness. When I added the chips they would not melt. I had to put the pot over heat again and they still would not melt. I finally just poured it into the pan and after two hours it still had the consistency of jelly. I was so excited to try this. What a disappointment

This is yummy and easy. I actually added 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice seasoning and 1 teaspon of nutmeg for the flavoring. I think you could season it however you like your eggnog.:)

I cut the recipe in half and omitted the cinnamon (I've never had it in eggnog, so I figured it made sense to leave it out of eggnog fudge) and the almonds. I followed the recipe, and even turned down the heat when it started to boil - but allowed it to keep boiling. It still turned out rather hard. Not need-to-use-a-hammer hard, but not the smooth, creamy consistancy that I look for in fudge. As for the taste, it was good. Tasted like eggnog and VERY sweet.
