A unique way to give this delightful fudge as a gift is to wrap individual squares like miniature presents.
Butter 8x8-inch pan. Lightly butter inside of heavy, medium saucepan.
Combine eggnog, corn syrup, butter and sugar in prepared saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Wash down sides of pan with pastry brush frequently dipped in hot water to remove sugar crystals. Add candy thermometer. Continue to cook until mixture reaches 238 degrees F.
