- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate, eggnog, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Stir until fully blended and smooth.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to scoop.
- Form truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the chilled mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls.
- Coat the truffles: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder, crushed nuts, or drizzle with melted white chocolate. Ensure they are evenly coated.
Notes
Tip: Sprinkle a pinch of extra nutmeg on top for a seasonal flair. To make vegan, use dairy-free chocolate and eggnog.
