Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the cake base: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl.
- Create the cake dough: Mix the cakes together with a handheld mixer until a crumbly dough forms. Fold in the festive sprinkles evenly.
- Shape the truffles: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it between the palms of your hands to form balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat until all dough is used.
- Melt the white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, coating fully. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place each coated truffle back onto the baking sheet.
- Melt the red candy melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second increments, massaging the bag between each increment to ensure even melting.
- Decorate the truffles: Snip one corner of the bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the truffles. Sprinkle with green sanding sugar, then refrigerate for a few minutes to set the coating. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a handheld mixer to evenly break down the cakes into a fine crumb for easier shaping.
- Allow the cake balls to chill briefly before dipping to prevent melting.
- Be careful when melting chocolate in short intervals to avoid burning.
- The red candy melts drizzle is optional but adds a festive touch.
- Store finished truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week.
