Equipment

  • large, heavy bottomed pot
  • parchment sheets
  • Baking Sheet
  • cutting board
  • small sized candy liners (Like muffin liners but smaller)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup eggnog
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 tsp rum flavoring
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff For easy and cleaner measuring, use a spoon dipped in very hot water, shake it off, then scoop out the product. Repeat as needed
  • 3 cups white chocolate morsels
  • 2-16 oz pkgs vanilla candy coating
  • 1 Tbsp nutmeg for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In large heavy bottomed pot, bring sugar, eggnog and butter to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes (rolling boil). Remove from heat and mix in rum flavoring and 1 tsp nutmeg.
  • Pour mixture into a mixing bowl. Add in marshmallow cream and white chocolate morsels. Blend until completely melted and incorporated (took about 1 1/2-2 minutes). Pour into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • When set, remove by lifting parchment out of pan and lay on cutting board. Cut into bite size pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and return to cookie sheet. When all truffles have been rolled, put in freezer for one hour.
  • Melt vanilla candy coating (according to package directions) and put in a deep glass or bowl. Note: I would recommend taking out only half of the chilled truffles to start so the second batch doesn’t get too warm and break little pieces into the melted candy coating, which can cause it to clump up.
  • Using a toothpick, dip each truffle into melted chocolate, tapping the excess off. Set onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Immediately sprinkle with a tiny pinch of nutmeg. Repeat for remaining truffles. Allow to set about half an hour in refrigerator. Place in candy liners if desired.
