Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (1 box)
- 3 tablespoons Festive sprinkles
Coating and Decoration
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons Red candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
- Green sanding sugar for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the cake crumbs: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer, blend the cakes until a crumbly dough forms. Fold in the festive sprinkles evenly.
- Form the truffle balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the cake mixture and roll each portion between your palms to form balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Continue until all dough is used.
- Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts either in the microwave in 30-second increments or using a double boiler until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball completely into the melted white chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Melt red candy melts: In a piping bag or ziplock bag, melt the red candy melts in the microwave in 30-second increments, massaging the bag between intervals to ensure even melting.
- Decorate the truffles: Snip a small edge from the piping or ziplock bag and drizzle the melted red candy melts over the white chocolate coated truffles. Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar over the drizzle.
- Set and serve: Place the decorated truffles in the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the coatings to set before serving. Enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- Ensure the cake balls are well chilled before dipping to help the chocolate coating set better.
- Use candy melts instead of white chocolate if you prefer easier melting and a smoother finish.
- Substitute festive sprinkles with any holiday-themed or colored sugar sprinkles of your choice.
- If you don’t have a piping or ziplock bag, you can drizzle the red candy melts with a spoon.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
