Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
Coating and Decoration
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
- 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 a crumbly dough forms. Mix in the festive sprinkles to incorporate color and texture.
- Form the Truffles: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the cake mixture and roll each between your palms into a ball. Place the rolled balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all the mixture is used.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts using the microwave in short intervals or by using a double boiler. Stir well to ensure smoothness.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffles back onto the parchment-lined 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, massaging the bag between each interval for even melting. Snip a small edge of the bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the coated truffles.
- Decorate and Set: Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar over the drizzled truffles for a festive touch. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve and enjoy your festive cake truffles!
Notes
- Ensure cake balls are chilled before dipping to prevent melting the chocolate coating.
- Use a double boiler for melting chocolate gently if preferred over microwaving.
- Substitute red candy melts with melted red chocolate or food coloring mixed white chocolate if unavailable.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
- Decorate with other festive sprinkles or edible glitter to customize appearance.
