This recipe is sponsored by Kohl’s®. These truffle-like sweets have all the beloved flavors found in a traditional cup of eggnog: nutmeg, rum and (of course) eggs! When putting them together, be sure to cook the egg mixture until it’s very thick so the candies hold their shape.

Reviews
Mixed exactly as directed in recipe the batter is too runny. No way to roll into balls….think very, very soft play dough that doesn’t hold its shape. Added another 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to help fortify the “dough” and am now putting in refrigerator to see if it’ll set up firmer. Not sold on this recipe.
