Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Prepare Cake Crumbs: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl to begin mixing.
  2. Mix the Cake: Use a handheld mixer to blend the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Mix in the festive sprinkles thoroughly to incorporate them evenly.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it between your palms into balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all dough is shaped.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using the microwave in short intervals or via a double boiler until smooth.
  5. Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated truffle back onto the baking sheet.
  6. Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag in 30-second microwave increments. Massage the bag between intervals to ensure the melts are fully smooth and melted.
  7. Drizzle and Decorate: Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the white chocolate-coated truffles. Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar on top for decoration, then chill in the fridge until set.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overheat the chocolates to prevent burning; melt slowly in short bursts.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when placing the truffles on the baking sheet.
  • The red candy melt drizzle is optional but adds a festive look and additional color contrast.
  • Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can substitute white chocolate with almond bark or any candy melt of your choice for easy melting and coating.
