Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box (5 cakes) Little Debbie Christmas Tree 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
- Prepare the Cake Crumbs: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them into a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, mix the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Add in the festive sprinkles and gently mix them through the cake crumbs.
- Form the Truffles: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake mixture and roll each between the palms of your hands to form smooth balls. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all mixture is used.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second increments, stirring in between, or by using a double boiler until smooth.
- Coat the Cake Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or a ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second intervals, massaging the bag between intervals to ensure even melting.
- Decorate the Truffles: Snip the tip of the piping or ziplock bag and drizzle the red candy melts over the coated truffles. Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar over the top for decoration.
- Set and Serve: Place the decorated truffles in the fridge and allow them to set for a few minutes until firm. Serve and enjoy your festive holiday treats!
Notes
- Use a handheld mixer or food processor to get fine, uniform crumbs for easier shaping.
- If you don't have festive sprinkles, colored sugar crystals or mini nonpareils work well as a substitute.
- White chocolate chips can be used instead of candy melts, but stir carefully to avoid burning.
- To melt candy melts without a microwave, use a double boiler and stir frequently.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a dairy-free version, select vegan white chocolate or candy melts.
