Ingredients
  

Truffle Base
  • 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes about 10 cakes
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
Coating and Decoration
  • 16 ounces white chocolate almond bark or white candy melts
  • ΒΌ cup green sanding sugar
  • 2 ounces red candy melts or white chocolate tinted with red gel food coloring

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Unwrap Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place in a large mixing bowl. Crumble cakes into fine pieces using your hands or a spoon.
  3. Add softened cream cheese to the bowl and mix with clean hands or spatula until completely combined and mixture holds together smoothly.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop, portion about 1 tablespoon of mixture at a time and roll between palms to form smooth balls. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate truffle balls for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt white chocolate in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth.
  7. Remove chilled truffles from fridge. Using fork or toothpick, dip each truffle into melted chocolate, coating completely. Tap fork on edge of bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  8. Place coated truffle back on parchment-lined sheet. Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar over top while chocolate is still wet.
  9. Melt red candy melts in piping bag or zip-top bag with corner snipped. Drizzle thin red lines over each truffle.
  10. Let truffles sit at room temperature or in fridge for 15 minutes until chocolate is completely set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Notes

Storage: Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 week. Layer parchment paper between rows.
Freezing: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge overnight.
Tip: Chill truffle balls thoroughly before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
