Made this for game night with our adult family members and it was gone before I knew it. Next time I will cut the nutmeg in 1/2.

Sounds tasty & to the person who wanted to know how long to cook on stove the syrup instead of microwave, see these links for similar recipes:

I don't use a microwave. How long do you cook the syrup mixture and how long and at what temperature do you cook the mix? I want to try it, thanks!
