FAQs
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions for this recipe.
You will find the Christmas Tree Little Debbie cakes are one of the most popular snack cakes. They are so popular and sell out fast when they get stocked on shelves.
You can make your dessert dip a day in advance. Feel free to whip it up and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. I do recommend not adding the sanding sugar till you are ready to serve as it can melt down when stored in the fridge.
Go right ahead and double the recipe if you would like. Just store in a larger bowl and serve it up. Or you can add the dip into two bowls.
