Easy Eggnog Fudge Recipe
With all the stresses and goings on during the holidays, I’ve been in search of something to help lower my blood pressure and get me back on an even keel. The stresses of the holidays aren’t going to relent for another week, so I’ve been looking for a little something to not only enjoy and indulge on but also help break the cycle of stress and take the focus off of my never-ending to-do list.
No other drink says “the holidays are here” quite like eggnog. I’ve always been a fan of the flavor but have usually been able to restrain myself. But not this year.
This recipe was sponsored by International Delight Nog at H-E-B. While International Delight no longer makes the Nog flavor, you can easily swap out other flavors (hello, Frosted Sugar Cookie) of International Delight or just use regular eggnog instead!
It occurred to me, I’m usually not big on milk or milkshakes but adore me some eggnog. So while enjoying a class this year, my mind started drifting to Santa.
This guy always gets stuck with the same old cookies and milk year after year. So if I like a change of pace from time to time, maybe Santa would like one as well. And instead of cookies, maybe taking that eggnog a step further and transitioning it into another favorite holiday treat would be delicious as well.
So this year instead of cookies and milk, try this easy eggnog fudge recipe instead!
