White Chocolate Eggnog Fudge Recipe

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all of the baking and giving that is involved. Honestly, I hated eggnog until my youngest boy became obsessed with it. Then I slowly started to like it! Last year, I baked some of my all-time favorite cookies that were also made with eggnog! Safe to say I’m a fan now. I feel like eggnog is amazing when you bake with it or incorporate it into a recipe. It’s so creamy and tastes almost like a custard!

My husband hates eggnog. But I always make him try my recipes. The eggnog cookies also became his favorite last Christmas. He made me bake them for all of the neighbors. Like the cookies, this fudge turned out amazing. And when I had my husband take a bite he said, WOW, this is actually really good! It is the perfect holiday fudge recipe. And being a lover of white chocolate, I of course LOVED this recipe! Eggnog fan or not, this eggnog fudge is a dessert that everyone can appreciate! It was easy to put together and I know that you will love it too!

What You’ll Need for Eggnog Fudge

Only 6 ingredients to make this tasty fudge! I love that I can pick these ingredients up without having to spend a fortune. Its simple ingredients make it perfect for making in large batches and giving to friends and family! If you’re looking for individual measurements, they’re in the recipe card below.

  • Eggnog: This is best made from scratch! It only takes a few simple ingredients and really amplifies the overall flavor of the eggnog fudge.
  • Sugar: Granulated sugar melts down to add the perfect sweetness to the fudge!
  • White Chocolate: I love white chocolate! It’s so rich and milky. It matches perfectly with the flavor of eggnog.
  • Butter: You can add salted or unsalted butter here. I like using salted to balance the sweetness of the fudge a little.
  • Marshmallow Cream: Adds a tasty, fluffy texture and sweet flavor.
  • Nutmeg: You’ve gotta have a little spice for the holidays! The warm, nutty flavor tastes great dusted on top.

Time to Make Fudge!

Eggnog fudge is one of the easiest desserts to make. Fudge, in general, is super simple and tastes so amazing! All you have to do is mix, melt, and cool! You’ll have to try my vanilla and peanut butter fudge recipes. They’re easy and delicious, too!

  1. Prep Your Pan: To begin, line a 9×13 inch pan with aluminum foil and lightly sprinkle with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Boil Eggnog and Sugar: In a large pot over medium heat, combine eggnog and sugar. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Once it comes to a boil, stir constantly for 10 minutes.
  3. Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Remove from the heat and add in white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and butter. Stir until completely melted and incorporated.
  4. Pour and Cool: Pour into your foil lined 9×13 pan and spread evenly until smooth. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Let completely cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Tips for Making Fudge

Fudge is pretty easy, but needs certain conditions to have the best consistency! Here are a few tips and tricks on making the tastiest fudge possible. You’ll be a pro!

  • Only Use Butter: It’s best to only use butter when making fudge. A substitute like margarine has too high of a water content and will keep your fudge from setting properly.
  • Check Temperature With a Candy Thermometer: You’ll know your fudge mixture is ready to be poured into a pan when it reaches at least 234 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also test the mixture by putting a drop into cold water. If it turns into a hard ball, it’s ready!
  • Adding Nuts: This eggnog fudge is perfect for adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds to!

Storing Leftover Eggnog Fudge

If this creamy fudge ends up having leftovers, here’s how to keep it fresh! It’s the perfect treat to enjoy days after it’s made.

  • In the Refrigerator: Keep your fudge wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or tin foil. You can also store it in an airtight container. It will stay good for up to 1 week.
  • In the Freezer: Eggnog fudge will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or put in an airtight container before storing.

Baked Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chip Recipe

Growing up, cinnamon toast was one of my favorite treats to have. It was so simple, but the mix of butter, sugar, and cinnamon was something I couldn’t get enough of. To this day, I’ll still make myself a piece of cinnamon toast as comfort food. Honestly, these amazing chips give me that same nostalgic feeling! They’re just as easy to make, but are perfectly crispy and can be used for so many different things! Make them for an after-school snack, an appetizer, or to use as ice cream topping! You can find more serving suggestions below.

I’m a sucker for chips. Especially sweet ones- and these cinnamon sugar tortilla chips are some of my absolute favorites. They are beyond easy to make. You only need tortillas, butter, cinnamon, and sugar to make them! And let me tell you! They are so unbelievably crispy and delicious without being deep-fried! I love to munch on them when they come out of the oven. They’re so warm with the best crunch! Pair these with your favorite sweet dips for a tasty treat! I have been loving them with cannoli and pumpkin pie dips.

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chip Ingredients

This is the perfect snack for a busy day. Only 4 ingredients to whip up these tasty cinnamon sugar chips! My kids love to snack on them. And honestly, anything that doesn’t require a grocery trip is a winner to me! Looking for measurements? You can find them in the recipe card below.

  • Flour Tortillas: I always use flour tortillas because it’s what I have around the house. They bake perfectly, too! You can also use soft corn tortillas as a substitute. But keep in mind, corn tortillas are more delicate and will cook faster. If that’s what you choose to use, take off a few minutes of baking time.
  • Butter: Melted butter is added to the cinnamon sugar mixture to make it smooth and rich. I always use unsalted butter here to keep things sweet.
  • Sugar: Granulated sugar is a key player here. You can adjust the ratios to make it sweeter or less sweet as desired! I, personally, love these chips on the sweeter side!
  • Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds the perfect warm spice! I love any cinnamon desserts. They’re so tasty!

Let’s Make Homemade Chips!

You’re going to love how easy this recipe is! It comes together in a snap. These chips are so tasty you won’t be able to get enough! Thankfully, they’re easy to make so you can always have a second batch! My kids always devour them, so it’s nice being able to make more with ease!

  1. Preheat: To begin, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Microwave Butter: Melt the butter completely.
  3. Mix: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Prep Tortillas: Lay out the tortilla and spread butter evenly over it. Then, sprinkle the two with cinnamon sugar.
  5. Cut Pieces: After cutting the tortilla into small pieces, place on a baking sheet with parchment.
  6. Bake: Next, bake for 9-11 minutes or until the tortilla is crispy. Move onto a plate then bake the second batch.

Tips for Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

Whether you want to enhance your tortilla chips, or don’t know what to serve them with, I’ve got you covered! These sweet and tasty chips are sure to be a favorite at your house!

  • Don’t Overcrowd Chips: If you’re making a double batch of these chips, either bake each batch separately or use 2 baking sheets. Overcrowding your chips in a pan will keep them from cooking thoroughly. Air flow is necessary fo the perfect crunch!
  • Other Flavors: For a perfect fall treat, you can add a little homemade pumpkin spice to your cinnamon sugar mix! I’ve loved this variation. You can also dip these in melted chocolate for a decadent twist!
  • Dips and Serving Suggestions: I usually serve my cinnamon sugar tortilla chips alongside a sweet dip. S’mores dip, melted caramel, fudge, and cheesecake dip all taste absolutely divine paired with these chips. Caramel pumpkin cheesecake dip is also delicious! Perfect for a fall party.

Storing Leftover Chips

Here’s how to store your cinnamon sugar tortilla chips and enjoy them later! You’re going to love having these around. They’re perfect for munching on!

  • At Room Temperature: Store your leftover chips in an airtight container. They will stay good for 3-5 days. If you want to extend the shelf life a little, use less butter when baking them. Oils make them more perishable over time.

Air Fryers have changed cooking. It’s so quick and easy and everything that comes out tastes amazing. I love it. This is such a healthy way to cook chicken or any other dish for that matter. It uses the same method as a convection oven but this way you don’t have to heat the whole oven for just a few chicken breasts. It’s quick and the clean up is so easy.

Chicken can be finicky sometimes, and hard to get juicy and tender each and every time. The air fryer method takes a lot of the guess work out for you. You will just need to take the Chickens temperature to ensure doneness, and that you don’t overcook it.  This is so versatile so change it up as you need to and enjoy.

Ingredients that we all usually have on hand. So easy and so quick!

  • Chicken Breasts: Buying skinless, boneless make it super easy.

  • Italian Seasoning: Perfect combination of spices

Tips for the Best Juicy Air Fryer Chicken

  • Olive Oil: This helps to crisp the skin and helps the spices and herbs to adhere to the meat.
  • Space: Make sure you create room between the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Don’t overcrowd. Cook in batches if you need to.
  • Check: Check the temp earlier than you think so you don’t accidently over cook the chicken. Appliances can vary so go by temperature of your chicken to ensure it’s done.
  • Rest: Let the Chicken rest before cutting into it. About 5 min at least. This allows the juices to reabsorb into the chicken instead of spilling onto your plate.
  • Spices: Mix it up depending on your menu. You can use Mexican spices, BBQ spices and sauce, Indian spices etc. Whatever your menu calls for this is a quick delicious way to cook your chicken.
  • Moist: Want to make sure your chicken is super moist and tender? Try marinating or brining your chicken for even greater juiciness and flavor.

How and Why do I Brine my Chicken Breasts?

  • Why: During brining the salt helps the meat to absorb extra liquid through the process of osmosis. Soaking the chicken in salted water, results in a juicier and more flavorful final dish, because the is able to hold on to more of it’s moisture. This is particularly great for lean cuts of meat, such as chicken breast and turkey breast that tend to dry out during cooking.
  • Formula: Basic brine ratio: The basic ratio of salt to water for a brine is 4 tablespoons of salt per 6 cups of water. But size of the salt crystal and type matter. Use Kosher salt because although it dissolves faster and easier in water, it’s slower to dissolve on the surface of meat so less sodium is absorbed by your meat.
  • How: Fill a large bowl with about 4 cups of lukewarm water and add 1/4 cup kosher salt, stirring to dissolve. Although this may sound like a lot of salt, only a small amount is absorbed. Add the chicken breasts to the water and let them sit at least 1 1/2 hours or up to 6 hours to brine. Remove from water, pat dry with paper towels and discard the water.
    • Continue with the recipe as directed rubbing with oil and spices then baking.
