Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 3 tablespoons Festive sprinkles
Coating
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
Decoration
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Mixture: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, blend the cakes until the mixture becomes crumbly dough. Stir in the festive sprinkles thoroughly to incorporate them evenly.
- Form Cake Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake dough and roll each between the palms of your hands to form smooth balls. Place the formed cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all mixture is used.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts either in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in short increments or using a double boiler until smooth.
- Coat Cake Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball completely into the melted white chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning the truffles to the baking sheet.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag in the microwave by heating in 30-second intervals, massaging the bag between to ensure full melting.
- Decorate Truffles: Snip the corner of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the coated truffles. Immediately sprinkle with green sanding sugar. Place the truffles in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the coating and decorations to set.
- Serve: Enjoy your festive Christmas Tree Cake Truffles chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the cake balls are well chilled before dipping to help the coating set properly.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during coating and setting.
- The red candy melts drizzle is optional but adds a festive color contrast.
- If you prefer, you can substitute candy melts with high-quality white chocolate and colored chocolate or candy coatings.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
