Ingredients
Scale
Truffles
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 3 tablespoons Festive sprinkles
Coating and Decoration
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts for drizzling (optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Crumbs: 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, then stir in the festive sprinkles to evenly distribute the colors and candy pieces.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake mixture and roll each between the palms of your hands to form small balls. Place the shaped balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces of white chocolate or candy melts by heating in 30-second increments, stirring in between, or use a double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt and Drizzle Red Candy Melts: Melt the 3 tablespoons of red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second bursts, massaging the bag between each to ensure full melting. Snip a small piece off the corner of the bag and drizzle the melted red candy over the coated truffles to create festive stripes or patterns.
- Decorate and Chill: Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar over the red drizzle before it sets for a sparkly, festive touch. Place the truffles in the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the coatings to fully set and harden.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve these festive cake truffles chilled for a sweet holiday treat everyone will love.
Notes
- Ensure cake balls are firm and chilled before dipping for easier coating.
- You can substitute candy melts with colored white chocolate chips if preferred.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a different look, try using colored sanding sugars of your choice.
- If you don’t have a handheld mixer, crumble the cakes fine using your hands or a food processor.
