Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 3 tablespoons Festive sprinkles
Coating and Decoration
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 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.
- Form the cake dough: Using a handheld mixer, mix the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Then mix in the festive sprinkles to distribute evenly.
- Shape the truffles: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll each between the palms to form balls, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all dough is used.
- Melt white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl either in the microwave with short intervals or using a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the cake balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, fully coat each chilled cake ball in the melted white chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return the truffles to the baking sheet.
- Melt red candy melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag in 30-second microwave increments, massaging the bag between intervals to ensure complete melting.
- Decorate truffles: Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy onto the dipped truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar on top, then refrigerate for a few minutes to set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cake balls are well chilled before dipping to prevent melting the chocolate coating.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking during setting.
- Red candy melt drizzle is optional but adds festive color and extra sweetness.
- These truffles should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
