Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- wav paper or parchment paper
- Large bowl
- Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 17.04 ounces Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes crumbled
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 16 ounces white candy melts
- ¼ cup red candy melts melted (optional)
- Red and green colored sanding sugar
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the cakes and cream cheese until well mixed.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and roll into a smooth ball.
- For best results, freeze the truffle balls prior to decorating for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the candy on high for 1 minute. Stir vigorously to allow the candy to continue melting with the residual heat. Return the candy to the microwave and heat in 15-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the candy mixture is smooth. If the candy melts are too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil and stir well.
- Dip each ball into the white candy melts and tap to remove the excess melted candy. Place the cookie ball on the prepared cookie sheet and immediately decorate with sprinkles.
- If desired, transfer the melted red candy into a piping bag with the corner snipped. Drizzle over the cookie balls.
- Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until firm. Keep stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container between layers of waxed paper.
Notes
- Make sure to allow the cake balls to be set up and then place them in the fridge.
- Then also if you want you can add some shortening to the chocolate to help thin it a bit.
- I have the best luck finding the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes at Walmart or Dollar General. But, sometimes they are also in my grocery stores.
- I used five of the Big Christmas Tree Cakes. However, you could use two boxes of the smaller cakes as well.
- I used a fork to dip these balls and then used a spoon to pour the chocolate on top of the ball. A toothpick works great to gently slide the ball off the work.
- You can also stick a cake pop stick to dip the balls if you prefer.
