Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts Alternatively use milk or dark chocolate.
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles Can be customized.
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts For drizzling, optional.
- 1 cup green sanding sugar For decoration.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by clearing your countertop and gathering all the ingredients. Have parchment paper ready for your baking sheet.
- Carefully unwrap the 5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a handheld mixer, blend the cakes until they crumble and resemble dough.
- Mix in the 3 tablespoons of festive sprinkles into the crumbled cake mixture.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls between your palms. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the truffles to firm up.
Dipping and Decorating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 8 ounces of white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cooled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- For an extra festive touch, melt the red candy melts and drizzle over the coated truffles.
- Sprinkle the green sanding sugar over the truffles while the melted chocolate is still wet. Allow to set in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature.
