A delightful twist on a classic holiday treat, these creamy white chocolate eggnog squares are perfect for festive gatherings.
Combine the sugar, butter, and eggnog in a heavy saucepan.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Stir continuously to avoid scorching the mixture.
Continue boiling until the mixture reaches 234°F, stirring constantly.
Use a candy thermometer to ensure the correct temperature is reached.
Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate and nutmeg until melted.
Stir quickly to ensure the chocolate melts evenly.
Add the marshmallow creme, pecans, and rum extract, and mix until well combined.
Fold in the ingredients gently to maintain the texture.
Pour the mixture into a buttered square pan and let it cool at room temperature.
Ensure the pan is evenly buttered to prevent sticking.
Cut into squares and serve.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
