Is there anything more comforting than a mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter day? How about a glass of thick, rich eggnog while sitting next to a crackling fire? Guess what, it finally dipped below 70 degrees here in Northern California. Yippee!
You know what that means. . . I can actually enjoy all of the winter activities and traditions. Like hot chocolate and eggnog. I just love a mug of hot chocolate on a cold day, especially after months of 100+ degree weather!
I don’t always know when the craving is going to hit me. Luckily International Delight now has Hot Chocolate and Nog. For hot chocolate, just heat and serve. And the Nog has been a great addition to my morning coffee!

Did you take some time off or did I miss some of your blogs for some reason?
Nope. I’ve been here doing my thing 😀 Glad you are back!
What a great idea! And it’s so cute too. Love the ID Nog!!
Thanks Dorothy! The ID Nog is delicious!
It’s a great recipe! Can you freeze it and how long does it last? Also is there a substitute for the condensed milk?
Thanks
Thanks Carly! I know some folks freeze fudge but I personally do not like the consistency of fudge after it has been thawed out. So I never freeze it. As far a a sub for condensed milk, that would be an entirely different fudge recipe. Their are many recipes that do not use sweetened condensed milk if you do a google search or look on pinterest 🙂
Any ideas on how long these would stay fresh sealed air tight and put in the frig?
I eat my batches of fudge for about a week. After that they tend to get stale.
I love the sound of this fudge! I can’t wait to make some for Christmas. How long does it keep? Xx
I always eat my fudge within a week at most. After that it tends to get stale tasting.
Can you find those mini marshmallows anywhere or do I need to try a certain p;lace?
Hi Jackie! Yes, you can find these at most grocery stores in the marshmallow or hot cocoa section. Enjoy!
Could I mix this fudge into a mug of hot milk and expect a hot chocolate drink? Or would that not work? It’s probably to dense to melt in milk.
Gosh, I don’t know. I have never tried that. I totally should have! Let me know if you give it a try.
I am wondering if you could substitute peanut butter chips for the white chocolate?
I have never tried to melt pb chips so I can’t say for sure. Let me know if you give it a try 🙂
Most of the white chocolate chips I have tried taste really “off”. The brand I recommend (& so does America’s test kitchen) is Guittard brand Choc-au-Lait chips. They have a lovely creamy vanilla flavor & no odd chemical notes. I will be using it to try out your recipe which sounds wonderful! Thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
Hi!
The recipe looks great! I dont have a microwave..could I melt everything au bain marie and for how long?
Greetings, Caroline
Yes, the double boiler method should work fine. I can’t say for how long because I do not use that method. Enjoy!
Hi, could I use milk chocolate instead of dark, I have some in the fridge to use up. Or does it need dark to take away the richness of the white?
The milk chocolate should work fine. I love a good milk chocolate fudge 🙂
I love chocolate and this is really too delicious thank you for sharing
How do you store this? Just wrap in wax paper/foil on the counter? Or can it just sit out if it’s for a day? I don’t want it to dry out for tomorrow’s party:)
I cover it with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. You can leave it on your counter or in the refrigerator. If you do refrigerate it just take it out 1-2 hours before the party to soften. Enjoy!
If I want to double this recipe what size pan should I use
You can use a 9×13 pan and the fudge will have thicker layers. If you have a dish larger than 9×13 that will work. Or, obviously two 9×9 pans 🙂
Looking forward to trying this! Has anyone tried using parchment paper instead of foil? I’m wondering if it would be easier to peel off.
I’m not sure. I never have much luck with parchment paper in general (probably operator error, lol!) Let me know if you try 🙂
Probably going to taste good but there’s no way that was enough white choc mix to cover the dark layer! I lost an inch all the way around the pan!
Yes, the white chocolate is really just for sticking the mallows to the fudge. If you prefer a complete white chocolate layer you can definitely double the amount. Happy Holidays 🙂
Thanks so much for this yummy recipe! I made it for Christmas and it was a big hit with the family. I made it using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate chips (as mentioned in the comments), since my family doesn’t care for dark and it came out great.
For the pan I used my silicon square pan so no prep was required, I just poured the chocolate directly in it, put it in the fridge and peeled the pan away once it cooled. If you haven’t used silicon pans before I highly recommend them for fudge and butterscotch, (but I still like metal pans for oven cake/bread baking).
Awesome! Happy new Year 🙂
