Transform beloved Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into elegant, bite-sized truffles. This no-bake recipe captures all the festive magic and nostalgic flavor of the iconic snack cakes, perfect for holiday parties or sweet edible gifts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
  • 8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
  • 3 tablespoons Festive sprinkles
  • 3 tablespoons Red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
  • Green sanding sugar for decoration

Instructions

  1. Unwrap all 5 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Crumble them finely into a large mixing bowl, using your hands to integrate the cake with its inherent frosting until a cohesive mixture forms.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill the cake mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop (1-1.5 tbsp), scoop out portions of the chilled mixture. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, compact balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Chill the formed truffles on the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, until they are very firm.
  5. While truffles chill, melt 8 ounces of white candy melts or good quality white chocolate chips. Use a microwave (30-sec intervals, stirring thoroughly after each) or a double boiler until completely smooth. If using white chocolate chips and it’s too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil or vegetable shortening.
  6. Remove a few chilled truffles at a time. Using a dipping tool or forks, submerge each truffle in the melted white chocolate. Lift, gently tap off excess chocolate, and immediately transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the coating is still wet and tacky, generously sprinkle with festive sprinkles and green sanding sugar. Repeat for all truffles, working quickly.
  7. Once the white chocolate coating has set on the truffles, if desired, melt the 3 tablespoons of red candy melts. Drizzle artistic patterns over the truffles for an extra festive touch.
  8. Return the decorated truffles to the refrigerator for a final chill of 30-60 minutes until the chocolate coating is fully set and firm to the touch.
  9. Serve these delightful truffles chilled or at a cool room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, truffles can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the chocolate is completely melted for a smooth coating.
  • Use different colored sprinkles for variety.
