Ingredients You’ll Need

• 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
• 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
• 3 tablespoons red candy melts for drizzling (optional but adorable)
• Green sanding sugar for decoration

How to Make Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Truffles

1. Unwrap the magic.
   Take those nostalgic Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix it up!
   Grab your handheld mixer and blend until the cakes turn into a soft, crumbly dough. Sprinkle in those colorful festive sprinkles — because, well, it’s Christmas and we’re extra.
3. Roll ‘em up.
   Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough, then roll it between your palms into smooth little balls. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Tip: Chill them for 10 minutes if they get too soft — patience, my friend, patience.)
4. Dip in white chocolate.
   Melt your white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave or using a double boiler. Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle completely. Let the extra drip off before placing them back on the sheet.
5. Add a little festive flair.
   Melt the red candy melts in a piping or ziplock bag, snip the corner, and drizzle that red goodness over each truffle. Finish with a sprinkle of green sanding sugar for that signature holiday sparkle.
6. Set and serve.
   Pop them in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up — then, my friend, it’s time to enjoy!

Aneta’s Tip

If your white chocolate starts to thicken while dipping, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to loosen it up. And if your truffles aren’t perfectly round… guess what? They’re still perfectly delicious.

I once made a batch that looked like little snowballs gone rogue — my kids still devoured them before they even hit the platter!
