So, it's been like 2 months... sorry about that. I've been getting ready for Christmas and such. All my shopping is done & I'm ready for it!
I've also discovered I have a bad addiction... a bad one...
Taste of home cookbooks..
They get me everytime.
:)
So, I'm going to Vegas in a few days and I can't wait!
My next post will probably be when I get back from vegas... or after Christmas... or probably by my next Birthday at the rate I've been posting!
Below is a recipe I'm going to try when I get back!
See you soon!
EGGNOG TRUFFLE CUPS
- 1 cup (6 ounces) Nestlé® Tollhouse® Semi-Sweet Morsels
- 2 teaspoons shortening
- 6 tablespoons eggnog
- 1 package (10 to 12 ounces) vanilla or white chips
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
- 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Using a narrow pastry brush, brush the inside of 1-in. foil candy liners with 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate. Freeze for 45 minutes or until firm.
- Using 1/4 teaspoon chocolate mixture for each cup, brush on another layer of chocolate. Freeze until firm.
- In a small saucepan, bring eggnog to a boil over low heat. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla chips until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until filling begins to set.
- Spoon or pipe 1-1/2 teaspoons of filling into each cup. Freeze until firm. Carefully remove and discard foil cups. Cover and store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just before serving, sprinkle with nutmeg. Yield: 3 dozen.
