Main Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
Decorations
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prep the Cakes: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Create the Cake Crumbs: Use a handheld mixer to blend the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Stir in the festive sprinkles evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form Cake Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake mixture and roll each into balls with your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth, or use a double boiler.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring full coverage. Let excess chocolate drip off and return to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag in short microwave bursts, kneading between intervals until smooth.
- Decorate and Chill: Snip a small corner of the bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the coated truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar on top. Refrigerate for a few minutes to set. Serve and enjoy your festive cake truffles!
Notes
- Ensure the cake mixture is well combined but not overly processed for the best texture.
- White chocolate coating can be substituted with any candy melts or chocolate of your choice.
- The red candy melt drizzle adds a colorful accent but can be omitted if preferred.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
- Use festive sprinkles that are safe for melting chocolate and consumption.
