Ingredients
Scale
- 5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (vanilla flavor)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- Red and green sprinkles (for decoration)
- Red or green candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Crushed peppermint (optional)
- Mini chocolate chips or toffee bits (optional)
Instructions
- Unwrap the Little Debbie Tree Cakes and crumble them into a large bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mix until a soft dough forms. Add vanilla extract if using.
- Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the rest. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30–45 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Tap off excess and return to the parchment paper.
- While wet, top with festive sprinkles or drizzle with red and green candy melts.
- Allow the cake balls to set at room temperature or refrigerate.
- Serve, gift, or package as desired.
Notes
- Chill the cake balls before dipping to help them hold their shape.
- Use quality melting chocolate for the best results.
- Melt chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid overheating.
- Add texture by folding in crushed cookies, peppermint, or sprinkles.
- Decorate immediately after dipping, as sprinkles will only stick while the coating is wet.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, 1 week in the refrigerator, or 1 month frozen.
