Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Balls
These Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Balls are so easy to make and burst with sweetness in each bite. These bite-size confectionary treats are a must this Christmas season.
Servings: 24 cake balls
Ingredients
- 10 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes two 5 count boxes
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 16 ounces white almond bark
- 1 cup red candy melts
- Green sanding sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the 8 ounces cream cheese. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add 10 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out and roll 24 truffles from the cake mixture. If the truffles stick to your hands, lightly grease them with vegetable/canola oil.
- Place the truffles in the freezer for at least 2 hours but preferable overnight to firm up completely.
- Once the truffles are chilled, place the 16 ounces white almond bark in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir after each interval until the almond bark is smooth and fully melted.
- Using 2 forks or a fork in a wooden skewer, dip the truffles into the chocolate, scoop out using one fork, gently shaking off the excess and place them back onto the parchment lined tray using the second fork/skewer.
- Immediately sprinkle the green sanding sugar on the truffles while the white chocolate is still wet.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup red candy meltss. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir after each interval until smooth and fully melted. If the mixture is too thick, melt 1 tablespoon on refined coconut oil in the microwave and slowly pour it into the candy melts and stir until you reach the desired consistency. Don’t add the coconut oil all at once as you may thin the candy melts too much.
- Place the melted red candy melts into a storage bag. Cut a very small corner off the storage bag.
- Drizzle the red candy melts back and forth over the truffles. Set aside until the red candy melt drizzle has firmed up. You can pop them into the fridge for 10 minutes for a quicker result.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 to 7 days.
