Description

I adapted a creamy, dreamy truffle recipe from a chocolate cookbook and came up with my variation to give as gifts. Rum and nutmeg add a bit of classic eggnog flavor.—Carla Manning, Grantsburg, Wisconsin

got a question for you? if you have a package of premixed eggnog powdered stuff can you use it in this recipe instead of all the ingredients and how would you do it? i have some leftover eggnog and want to use it up besides the pouch of eggnog premixed to make some truffles so any advice on how to go about it?

Are Melting Chips the same as Baking Cips?

From the taste of these wonderful candies you would never guess they do not have eggnog.

The combination of rum, nutmeg and vanilla turn these into a yummy little bite of eggnog heaven.

Not sure why they are called eggnog creams.....there is no eggnog in them!

Where is the eggnog in these?

Ingredients

3-1/2 cups white baking chips, divided
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons dark rum
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons shortening
Ground nutmeg, optional

Directions

Directions In a microwave, melt 1-1/2 cups baking chips; stir until smooth. In a small bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add rum and vanilla. Beat in melted chips. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour or until set. Shape mixture into 1-in. balls; place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm and slightly dry to the touch. In a microwave, melt shortening and remaining baking chips; stir until smooth. Dip balls in mixture; allow excess to drip off. Return to baking sheet; if desired, sprinkle with nutmeg. Refrigerate 2 hours or until set. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
