Main Ingredients
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons Festive sprinkles
- 3 tablespoons Red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Crumbs: Unwrap all the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the Crumbs: Use a handheld mixer to blend the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Stir in the festive sprinkles evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form Cake Balls: Scoop the dough using a tablespoon and roll it between your palms to form uniform balls. Place each cake ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue this process until all dough is used.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals or use a double boiler until smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet.
- Melt Red Candy Melts: Melt red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag by microwaving in 30-second increments, massaging the bag between intervals to maintain smooth consistency.
- Decorate the Truffles: Snip a small corner of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the coated truffles. Sprinkle green sanding sugar on top for extra festive flair.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate the decorated truffles for a few minutes until the chocolate sets. Enjoy your festive Christmas Tree Cake Truffles!
Notes
- Use a handheld mixer for even cake crumbling, but you can also crumble by hand if needed.
- Ensure the cake balls are chilled before dipping to help the chocolate coat smoothly.
- If you prefer, substitute white chocolate with other candy melts flavors or colors for customization.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Double boiler method helps prevent chocolate from burning compared to microwave melting.
