1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Nutmeg, Ground
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Imitation Rum Extract

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.
