Make delightful Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Balls easily for your holiday festivities.
Ingredients
For the Cake Base
- 5 pieces Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
For the Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces White Chocolate Melting Wafers (can substitute with almond bark or semi-sweet chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil (optional for thinning)
For the Decorations
- 4 ounces Red Candy Melts (for drizzling)
- 2 ounces Green Christmas Sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by removing the wrappers from all five Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Place the cakes into a large mixing bowl. Using clean hands or a fork, break the cakes into smaller pieces until they form fine, moist crumbs.
- Add softened cream cheese to the cake crumbs. Mix until completely combined, creating a thick and smooth dough.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the cake mixture and roll it into a smooth round ball, continuing until all mixture is shaped.
- Arrange the cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes until firm.
- Melt white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30-second intervals until smooth. If thick, add coconut oil.
- Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip back before placing on a parchment-lined tray.
- Melt red candy melts in another bowl and drizzle over the chocolate-coated cake balls using a piping bag.
- Sprinkle green Christmas sprinkles over each ball while the red drizzle is still soft.
- Refrigerate the finished cake balls for 15 to 20 minutes until firm, then arrange in a serving dish.
