Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
Truffle Base
- 10-12 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes individually wrapped cakes
Coating & Decoration
- 10-12 ounces White Chocolate Melts or Bark Ghirardelli or Wilton recommended
- Festive Sprinkles Red, green, gold, or mixed holiday sprinkles
- optional Food Coloring A tiny drop of green or red gel food coloring
Instructions
Preparation
- Unwrap about 10-12 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large mixing bowl, then crumble them by hand, with a fork, or a food processor until a fine, moist, dough-like consistency is achieved from the cake and frosting.
- Take about 1 tablespoon of the cake mixture, roll it firmly into a smooth ball, and place each finished truffle onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Chilling & Coating
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or freeze them for 15 minutes, to firm them up for easier dipping.
- Melt 10-12 ounces of white chocolate melts or bark according to package directions, typically in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth, and optionally mix in a tiny drop of gel food coloring.
- Dip each firm truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage, and gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- Immediately after dipping, return the truffle to the parchment-lined baking sheet and generously apply holiday sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Final Steps
- Chill the completed truffles in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating is completely set.
Notes
For best results, make sure the truffles are well-chilled before dipping to prevent them from falling apart. Work quickly when dipping and sprinkling as the chocolate sets relatively fast.
