Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes total)
- 8 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- 3 tbsp holiday sprinkles
- 3 tbsp red candy melts, for drizzling (optional)
- Green sanding sugar, for topping
Instructions
- Prep the cakes: Unwrap each Christmas Tree Cake and place them all into a large mixing bowl. Break them apart with your hands or drop them right into the bowl in whole pieces.
- Mash into dough: Using a hand mixer, blend the cakes until they turn into a soft, dough-like mixture. Sprinkle in the festive sprinkles and mix again so they’re evenly distributed.
- Form the truffles: Grab a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll it between your palms to shape smooth little balls. Set each one onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Keep going until all the dough is used.
- Melt the coating: Place the white chocolate or candy melts in a heat-safe bowl. Warm it in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler until fully melted and silky.
- Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, lower each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s completely coated. Let any excess drip off, then return it to the baking sheet to firm up.
- Add the red drizzle: Put the red candy melts into a piping bag or a zip-top bag. Microwave in 30-second intervals, squeezing the bag between each round until smooth. Snip a tiny opening at the tip and drizzle the melted candy over the truffles.
- Finish with sparkle: While the coating is still soft, sprinkle the tops with green sanding sugar. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for a few minutes until everything sets. Serve and enjoy!
