Ingredients
  • Update:
  • 16 oz. white chocolate chopped
  • 3tbs (up to 2 tbsp. more if needed). full fat eggnog - room temp
  • 2 tsp. bourbon
  • 2 cups White chocolate candy melts
  • 2 cups Dark Chocolate candy melts
  • 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Chop your white chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat proof bowl.
  2. Pour your vanilla over the chocolate and add a pinch or two of cinnamon.
  3. Microwave in 30 second intervals, until completely melted and smooth. Don't over heat, you may need to decrease the time at the end.
  4. Pour the eggnog and bourbon into the white chocolate. If still too thick, add eggnog 1 tbsp. at a time until smooth and thick, but not runny.
  5. Place plastic wrap over the ganache and press down to cover top of the filling. Let cool to room temp for about 10 minutes, then place in the fridge for at least two hours to firm up.
  6. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside.
  7. Once firm, you can begin rolling your truffles. Lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar. I used a heaping teaspoon size.
  8. Place rolled truffles on lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  9. Place your melting wafers in two separate heat proof bowls, white chocolate in one and dark chocolate in the other.
  10. Mix your ground cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  11. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments until completely smooth.
  12. Remove truffles from freezer and dip one at time in desired chocolate coating.
  13. Tap any excess chocolate from truffles by tapping tool or fork against side of bowl.
  14. Carefully place coated truffle back on the parchment paper to set. A toothpick is helpful to transfer the truffle from the tool/fork to the parchment paper.
  15. Sprinkle tops lightly with nutmeg and cinnamon mixture if desired.
  16. Allow to set completely before transferring into an airtight container.
  17. Store covered in the fridge for 2 weeks.
  18. Enjoy!
