Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Coating and Decoration
- 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
- 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
- 3 tablespoons red candy melts, for drizzling
- Green sanding sugar, for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Truffle Base: Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and crumble them finely into a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until a uniform, dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Form and Chill Truffles: Scoop the mixture into 1-inch or 1.5-inch balls and roll them smooth between your palms. Place the truffle balls on parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt Chocolates: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or via a double boiler until smooth. Add a small amount of coconut oil if needed to thin the chocolate. In a separate small bowl, melt the red candy melts for drizzling following the same method.
- Coat and Decorate: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, tapping off any excess. Immediately transfer the coated truffles to parchment paper and sprinkle generously with festive sprinkles and green sanding sugar before the chocolate sets. Drizzle the melted red candy melts over the truffles using a piping bag or fork for a festive finish.
- Final Chill and Serve: Place the decorated truffles back into the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 to 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm. Serve chilled or allow the truffles to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes for optimal texture. Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing with crumbled cakes.
- If white chocolate is too thick, adding a teaspoon of coconut oil can help achieve a smoother coating.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling and coating.
- These truffles are best stored refrigerated and consumed within a week.
- For a festive touch, try varying sprinkles or candy colors to match holiday themes.
