Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
Decoration Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts for drizzling (optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cakes: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them into a large bowl. Use a handheld mixer to mix the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Stir in the festive sprinkles evenly.
- Form Cake Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop out the crumbly mixture and roll it tightly between the palms of your hands to form balls. Place each formed ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using the microwave in 30-second increments or by using a double boiler until smooth.
- Coat Cake Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball completely into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts inside a piping bag or a ziplock bag by microwaving in 30-second increments, massaging the bag between each heating until fully melted.
- Drizzle and Decorate: Snip the tip of the piping or ziplock bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the white chocolate coated truffles. Immediately sprinkle with green sanding sugar for decoration.
- Set and Serve: Place the decorated truffles in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. Enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- Ensure the cake balls are well chilled before dipping to prevent melting of the chocolate.
- If you do not have festive sprinkles, you can substitute with colored sugar or holiday-themed sprinkles.
- Use candy melts instead of real chocolate for easier melting and a smoother finish.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a more intense flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake crumb mixture before rolling.
