Ingredients
1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (10 cakes)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Red and green sprinkles (optional, for decorating)
Instructions
- Crumble the Cake: Begin by crumbling the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into a large bowl. Use your hands or a fork to break them into fine crumbs.
- Mix: Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and holds together when pressed.
- Shape: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is smooth.
- Coat: Dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork, rolling to coat evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then return the balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate: If desired, sprinkle with red and green sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is fully set.
- Serve: Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Storage: Store the cake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. Simply place them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container.
Variations: Experiment with different coatings such as milk or dark chocolate for a different look and flavor. You can also add seasonal extracts like peppermint or almond for a unique twist.
