Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
Decoration
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Mixture: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl. Use a handheld mixer to blend the cakes until they form a crumbly dough. Mix in the festive sprinkles thoroughly.
- Form Cake Balls: Scoop the crumbly dough with a tablespoon and roll it between the palms of your hands to form smooth balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all the dough is used.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals or using a double boiler until fully smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring it is fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the baking sheet.
- Melt and Drizzle Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second increments. Massage the bag between heating intervals to ensure complete melting. Snip a small corner of the bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the truffles.
- Decorate and Chill: Sprinkle green sanding sugar over the drizzled truffles for a festive look. Allow the truffles to set in the fridge for several minutes before serving. Enjoy your holiday treat!
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cake balls are well chilled before dipping to prevent melting.
- You can substitute white chocolate candy melts with white chocolate chips if preferred.
- Feel free to customize the sprinkles or colors to match your holiday theme.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
