Eggnog Fudge

Eggnog Fudge

1/2 cup sugar 3 cups miniature marshmallows 2/3 cup purchased eggnog 3 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon corn syrup 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped pecans

Butter sides of a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add sugar, marshmallows, eggnog, butter, corn syrup, and salt to the saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Turn heat up to medium and cook until mixture boils.

Continue to cook, stirring constantly, to about 232�. Add chocolate chips and continue to cook for 5 minutes (should be at soft ball stage*), or until chocolate is melted. Stir in chopped nuts. Pour into a buttered 8-inch square pan. Cool to room temperature, then chill and cut into squares.

Makes about 3 dozen pieces of eggnog fudge.

A small amount of syrup dropped into chilled water forms a ball, but flattens when picked up with fingers (234� to 240�).
