How to Make Little Fruitcake Bites
- Pour 1/4 cup rum over 1 cup raisins, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the marinated raisins and rum, and 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Fold in 1/2 cup chopped candied fruit and 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work well).
- Line a mini muffin tin with festive Christmas paper liners or plain paper liners.
- Fill each liner ¾ full with batter.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
