Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
Decorations
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Base: Remove the Christmas Tree Cakes from their packaging and cut each cake into small chunks. Place the cake pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash the Cake: Using a fork or your hands, mash the cake pieces until they become a uniform, crumbly mixture. This will form the base of your truffles.
- Form the Truffles: Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly until smooth and glossy.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place them back onto the parchment paper.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the truffles with festive sprinkles and green sanding sugar for a festive look.
- Add Red Candy Drizzle (Optional): Melt the red candy melts separately and use a fork or piping bag to drizzle thin lines over the coated truffles for added holiday flair. Let the drizzle set.
- Chill to Set: Place the decorated truffles back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate and decorations to fully set before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy these delightful Christmas Tree Cake Truffles as a festive holiday treat or party dessert.
Notes
- Ensure the truffles are well chilled before dipping to help them hold their shape during coating.
- If white chocolate thickens while melting, stir in a small amount of vegetable oil or shortening to smooth it out.
- Red candy melt drizzle is optional but adds beautiful color contrast.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can customize decorations with other holiday-themed sprinkles or edible glitter.
