Leftover Eggnog Fudge 2

By Joelene

(This version is a little trickier because if you beat the mixture too far beyond a thick consistency, it will harden and crystallize. But the efforts are well-worth it!)

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup eggnog
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, eggnog, corn syrup and butter. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Insert cookie thermometer and cook until mixture reaches 234 degrees or soft ball stage. Pour mixture into a stainless or glass mixing bowl. Cool to lukewarm, or 110 degrees. Add vanilla and beat with electric mixer just until thickened. (If you mix too much beyond this stage, the mixture will seize up and crystallize.) Spread fudge into prepared pan.
