I don’t know why, but it seems like I only make fudge around the holidays. Though, when it comes to eating it, that’s probably a good thing. There’s something about fudge that makes it hard to stop at just one piece, and this eggnog snickerdoodle fudge is no exception!
When Christmas rolls around, I’m always looking for new recipes to try and this year was no different. I kept seeing eggnog fudge recipes popping up and knew that I had to try it for myself. Of course, I couldn’t just stop at eggnog, I had to add the flavor of one of my favorite cookies. . .snickerdoodles!
This rich, creamy fudge has real eggnog in it, lots of nutmeg and a topping of cinnamon sugar. The slight crunch of the cinnamon sugar topping adds a bit of texture and gives the fudge the flavor of a snickerdoodle cookie (cookies and fudge are a great combination!). If you love eggnog, then you’ll want to make this eggnog snickerdoodle fudge as soon as possible!
- 3 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 C sugar
- ¾ C eggnog

Eggnog fudge with a cinnamon sugar top..girl this is incredible.. Happy Holidays to you!
Well, this looks and sounds completely obsession-worthy! Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie, and I can only imagine how awesome it is to blend those flavors with eggnog (and fudge!). I’ve never made fudge myself, but that might be a good challenge when my mother-in-law is in town!
Yum, this look so good Jessica! I love making fudge during this time of year and still have some eggnog left over that I need to use up so this is perfect 🙂 Pinning, the cinnamon sugar topping makes this so pretty too!
I only make fudge during the holidays too! Which you’re right … is probably a good thing since I can’t stop eating it either! Love that you combined eggnog with snickerdoodles!
I only make fudge for Christmas too – but if I’m on holidays I almost always find a little shop to buy a slab 🙂 This is pretty and unique with that crunchy topping!
yes please! this sounds divine!!!
This looks amazing Jessica! Can’t wait to try this one out, I better pin it for later <3
You caught my attention with eggnog fudge but then you won me with that cinnamon sugar topping! SWOON!
Now this is my kind of fudge! It looks delicious!!
Oh wow, this sounds SO amazing. I love eggnog so I’m sure I’d love this fab-looking fudge. I wish you delivered!
You win, best eggnog recipe ever! Loving it!
I’m not normally a huge fan of fudge, but I’m super intrigued by this version. It’s right up my alley! Definitely giving it a go as soon as I buy more eggnog 🙂
Every time I have fudge, I wonder why I only eat it a Christmas! Why am I depriving myself? This flavor is fantastic Jessica!
I’m actually not usually super into fudge…but with that cinnamon layer on top I could get addicted to it!
Stop the presses! I need this fudge in my life. It’s so creative and I love the combo of flavors. Definitely a must try 🙂
How long does the fudge take to cool? My candy thermometer broke and I was just close to 234*. Not sure if I messed up or what but hopefully it does cool correctly..
