how to make Christmas Tree Cake Truffles

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
• 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
• 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
• 3 tablespoons red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
• Green sanding sugar for decoration

Directions:

1. Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl.
2. Mix the cakes together with a handheld mixer until a crumbly dough forms. Add the sprinkles and mix again.
3. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it between your palms. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Keep going until you finish all the dough.
4. Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using the microwave or a double boiler.
5. Take each chilled cake ball and dip it into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it gets fully coated. Let any extra chocolate drip off before returning it to the baking sheet.
6. Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or a ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second increments. Squeeze and massage the bag in between to ensure it’s completely melted.
7. Snip the edge of the bag to drizzle the red candy melts over the truffles. Sprinkle on the green sanding sugar and place the truffles in the fridge for a few minutes to set. Enjoy!
