Main Ingredients
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
Decorations
- 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: Use a handheld mixer to mix the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Stir in the festive sprinkles thoroughly to distribute the color and texture.
- Form the Truffle Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it between your palms into even balls. Place each on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all dough is used.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring frequently, or melt using a double boiler for smooth consistency.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring a full coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare Red Candy Melt Drizzle: Melt the red candy melts by microwaving them in a piping bag or a ziplock bag in 30-second bursts, massaging the bag between intervals to fully melt the candy.
- Decorate the Truffles: Snip a small hole at the corner of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the white chocolate-coated truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar as desired for extra festive decoration.
Notes
- Be sure to allow the white chocolate to set fully before drizzling with red candy melts to prevent blending of colors.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy removal and cleanup.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a different flavor twist, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or peppermint extract to the cake dough.
- If you don’t have festive sprinkles, use any colorful sprinkles or crushed holiday candies for decoration.
