*We horsed around with the dough this once to make mini yule log shapes, but the Play-Doh snake method is the specified and much quicker technique for making these yummy tidbits.

Looks like something I'll have to try. I especially like the rum part. So shouldn't they be rum logs since there's more rum or rum flavoring than nutmeg? Just askin'
Probably you are right Honeybee, but truth in advertising might not go over so well at the church Xmas bake sale.
I bought the supplies today! Rum and nutmeg are a wonderful pairing!
