Ingredients

2 1/2 cups white sugar
2/3 cup eggnog
1/2 cup butter
8 ounces vanilla candy melts, cut into pieces
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

1 Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on both sides. Grease aluminum foil.
2 Combine sugar, eggnog, and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Off heat, add vanilla candy and marshmallow creme; stir until smooth. Stir in rum extract. Pour fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Lightly sprinkle nutmeg on top.
