Ready for more eggnog? I promise this is the last one (this week anyways). I apologize to those who are haters, but for people like me, who LOVE the stuff, we can only enjoy this treat for a limited time during the year (unless you make it yourself, but no thanks).
So today I bring you eggnog truffles. Oh yes. They taste like eggnog, creamy delicious eggnog. And how pretty in a bowl. Like most truffle recipes, they are easy to make, just need a little patience while you wait for the different steps to set up!
You CAN do this! You MUST do this! Enjoy!
Eggnog Truffles
by Shugary SweetsIngredients- 2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp rum flavoring
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup marshmallow cream
- 3 cup white chocolate morsels
- 2-16oz pkgs vanilla candy coating
- 1 Tbsp nutmeg, for garnish
InstructionsIn large 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 (or use an immersion blender). 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. 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.Serve cold and enjoy!Powered by Recipage**If you enjoyed these Eggnog Truffles, go check out some more eggnog goodies here!

Yum… those look wonderful!
I think you need me to take those off your hands!!! Remember when you asked me to be your workout buddy? I am just thinking of you:-) Fine! I’m thinking of me too! And I need Eggnog Truffles today!!!!
I have a weakness for eggnog during the holidays and you’ve given me even more reasons to indulge in this annual treat.
Gorgeous photos, too!
This is genius – yum!
I’m not an eggnog fan myself, but I know a few people who would die for these. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds fantastic!!
My hero!! I am in all sorts of an eggnog kick. I started off my Egg-nogging with a batch of Egg Nog Marshmallows. They are a bit too addicting. And it’s never a bad thing!! ~Megan
These look so good!! I just wish you could get egg nog in this country! I think I’ll make these when I come over to the States for Xmas!!
These look wonderful. I love eggnog and even freeze it to use throughout the year. I though I was following you by email, but I guess not. Well, I am now. Thanks for sharing.
Oh mercy!!!! Pinning this one right away! I’m also going to put this on our Take Six FB page as we speak! Thanks for an awesome new Christmas Recipe!

Does it taste better if you use real rum vs the rum flavoring? Or can you not tell a big difference?
I’ll let you know about the real rum. That’s what I’ll be using.
Perfectly scrumptious! Featuring this recipe too!
These sound soooo good! I have been making eggnog treats as well. I have a little leftover and wasn’t sure what I would do with it. I don’t drink eggnog. I think this will be what I make with my leftovers!!

Going to whip these up, but wanted to know what the yield is so I know if I need to make two batches or not. Thanks so much!

I made these truffles and they were gone in a flash. The best tasting truffles ever. Made them for the holidays and will make them again when I can purchase eggnog.
