The sweet treats of the holidays are over and it’s just about time to welcome in 2015. For those of you feeling a bit gloomy about saying goodbye to your favorite treats of the holiday season, give yourself one last hurrah by baking up a batch of eggnog truffle cups with a recipe from TasteOfHome.com. They’re easy to make and create a perfect single-serving addition to your New Year’s Eve celebration (just try to remember to brush your beautiful smile once that sweet treat has disappeared along with 2014).
