People would not quit hounding me for this. I made it for Christmas gifts with a few other kinds & this was all they'd talk about. They were threatening to steal it out of each other's mail boxes at work. I used white chips for the chocolate & vanilla instead of rum. Thanks for the winner recipe :)

I've made this twice now. The first time with the ingredients listed here (no nuts) and the second time I used Cinnamon eggnog, ground cinnamon instead of nutmeg, and vanilla instead of rum. Both times it turned out perfect and unbelievably delicious. This is a great recipe!!!!!

This came out perfect. I followed the recipe exactly, except I backed off the rum extract to 1/4 tsp. as I don't like rum flavor in my egg nog. I also didn't have a candy thermometer so I boiled for 10 minutes and it came out perfect. Thanks for sharing. I will make it again.
