# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
→ Coating & Decoration
02 -
8 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts
03 -
3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
04 -
3 tablespoons red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
05 -
Green sanding sugar for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
Unwrap Christmas Tree Cakes and place in a large mixing bowl.
02 -
Blend cakes with a handheld mixer until a crumbled dough forms. Incorporate festive sprinkles and mix until evenly dispersed.
03 -
Using a tablespoon, portion the dough and roll between your palms to form smooth balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 -
Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth.
05 -
With a fork or dipping tool, submerge each chilled cake ball into melted white chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back on the baking sheet.
06 -
Melt red candy melts in a piping or zip-top bag using the microwave in 30-second intervals, kneading between each session until fully melted.
07 -
Trim the tip of the piping bag and drizzle red candy melts over coated truffles. Sprinkle immediately with green sanding sugar. Refrigerate until set before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For evenly coated truffles, allow cake balls to chill before dipping in melted chocolate to help set the outer shell quickly.
