Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
  • 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
  • 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
  • 3 tablespoons red candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
  • Green sanding sugar for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cakes: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large mixing bowl ready for processing.
  2. Form the dough: Using a handheld mixer, blend the cakes until they form a crumbly dough. Stir in the festive sprinkles evenly into the mixture.
  3. Shape the truffles: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll each between your palms to form balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all dough is shaped.
  4. Melt chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl either in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Coat the truffles: Dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring they are fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off, then set them back on the parchment-lined tray.
  6. Melt and drizzle red candy melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second intervals, massaging the bag between heats to achieve a smooth consistency.
  7. Decorate the truffles: Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the coated truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar on top to add festive decoration and place in the fridge for a few minutes to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use a handheld mixer to ensure the cake crumbles evenly for smooth truffle texture.
  • Work quickly when melting chocolate to avoid seizing or burning.
  • Keep truffles chilled if not serving immediately to maintain their shape and coating.
  • Red candy melts drizzle is optional but adds a festive pop of color and flavor.
  • These truffles can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
