Ingredients
Scale
Cake and Coating
- 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 for drizzling (optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Base: 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 thoroughly for color and texture.
- Form Cake Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake mixture and roll them between your palms to form round balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all the mixture is used.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate or candy melts until smooth.
- Coat the Cake Balls: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, coating completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return the coated truffle to the baking sheet.
- Prepare Red Candy Drizzle: Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second intervals, massaging the bag between intervals until fully melted. Snip a small corner from the bag for drizzling.
- Decorate Truffles: Drizzle the red candy melts over each coated truffle. Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar on top for a festive finish. Place the truffles in the fridge to set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a double boiler to melt chocolate gently and avoid burning.
- If you don’t have festive sprinkles, colored sugar or nonpareils work well as substitutes.
- Ensure cake balls are firm and chilled before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
- For easier drizzle application, use a piping bag but a ziplock bag works just as well.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
