Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (any flavor)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
- Holiday sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Mixture:
- Crumble the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mix until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky, forming a dough-like consistency.
2. Shape the Cake Balls:
- Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should get about 12-15 cake balls.
- Freeze the cake balls for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Stir in the coconut oil or vegetable shortening if the chocolate is too thick.
4. Coat the Cake Balls:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the cake ball back onto the parchment paper.
- Immediately decorate with holiday sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
5. Chill and Serve:
- Place the coated cake balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
