These Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Truffles are an easy, festive no-bake treat made by combining vanilla-flavored Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes with white chocolate coating, red candy melt drizzle, green sanding sugar, and optional Christmas sprinkles. Perfect for holiday parties, these bite-sized truffles capture the nostalgic flavor of the original cakes with a fun, decorative twist.

Ingredients

Truffle Base

  • Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, vanilla flavored – 1 package (usually 8 cakes)
  • Festive Christmas sprinkles (optional) – 1/4 cup

Coating and Decoration

  • White chocolate chips or white candy melts – 12 ounces
  • Red candy melts – 1/4 cup
  • Green sanding sugar – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Mixture: Unwrap each Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake and place them into a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, thoroughly mash the cakes until they form a uniform mixture. If desired, fold in the festive Christmas sprinkles to add a colorful touch.
  2. Form the Truffles: Line a cookie sheet or cutting board with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat. Using a small cookie scoop or 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop out portions of the cake mixture and roll each into a 1-inch ball using the palms of your hands. Place the formed balls onto the prepared sheet.
  3. Chill the Truffles: Place the baking sheet with the cake balls into the refrigerator to chill while preparing the coating. This will help them hold their shape during dipping.
  4. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Dip the Truffles into White Chocolate: Using a dipping fork, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Melt the Red Candy Melts: In a separate bowl, microwave the red candy melts in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Transfer the melted red candy to a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a small cut at the tip for drizzling.
  7. Decorate the Truffles: Immediately drizzle the red candy melts over the coated truffles to mimic Christmas tree ornaments. Before the white chocolate sets, sprinkle green sanding sugar over the truffles to replicate the textured look of the original Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes.
  8. Set the Truffles: Place the decorated truffles back into the refrigerator until the chocolate coating and decorations have completely set, about 15-20 minutes.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve these festive truffles immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use the vanilla-flavored Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes specifically for the best flavor match.
  • Prepare the red candy melt drizzle and green sanding sugar ahead of time to work quickly before the white chocolate sets.
  • Optional sprinkles mixed into the cake mixture add extra festive color and fun.
  • These truffles can be made in large batches and are perfect for holiday parties or gifting.
  • Store truffles in the refrigerator to maintain coating texture and freshness.
