Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
Decorations
- 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 in a large bowl.
- Crumble the cakes: 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 the dough and roll it between your palms to form balls. Place them 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 30-second bursts or a double boiler until smooth.
- Coat the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, coating completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and place back on the baking sheet.
- Melt red candy melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag in 30-second increments in the microwave, massaging the bag between each until fully melted.
- Decorate the truffles: Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the coated truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar over the top.
- Set the truffles: Place the decorated truffles in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the cake balls are well chilled before dipping to help the chocolate coat smoothly.
- Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small cut corner for easy candy melt drizzling.
- For a firmer coating, let the white chocolate set slightly before adding red drizzle and sanding sugar.
- You can substitute festive sprinkles with crushed peppermint or colored sugar for varying textures.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
