Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
Decoration
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts for drizzling (optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Mixture: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl. Use a handheld mixer to mix the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Stir in the festive sprinkles evenly.
- Form Truffle Balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake mixture and roll each in the palms of your hands to form balls. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all mixture is used.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using the microwave in 30-second increments or a double boiler until smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and carefully place them back on the baking sheet.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second increments, massaging the bag between to ensure even melting.
- Decorate the Truffles: Snip a small edge of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the coated truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar on top. Place the truffles in the fridge for a few minutes to set before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Keep the truffle balls chilled before dipping to help maintain their shape.
- If you don’t have red candy melts, use red tinted white chocolate or skip the drizzle decoration.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Ensure chocolate melts are fully melted and smooth before dipping for a clean coating.
