Ingredients
  

For the Cake Balls
  • 1 box Vanilla Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes The sweet base that provides nostalgic flavor; feel free to use any cupcake or cake mix if needed.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese This binds the mixture and adds moisture; mascarpone works beautifully as a substitute.
For the Coating
  • 12 oz White Candy Melts Creates a smooth chocolate-like shell; can swap with white chocolate for extra decadence.
  • 4 oz Red Candy Melts Optional for adding a festive touch; use any leftover melting chocolate for decorations.
For the Decoration
  • 1 cup Red and Green Colored Sanding Sugar Adds a fun, festive look; any holiday-themed sprinkles make a terrific alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Little Debbie Christmas Cake Balls
  1. Begin by lining a baking sheet with waxed paper for a non-stick surface for your cake balls.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble the Vanilla Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into fine pieces and mix with softened cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls, placing them on the prepared sheet.
  4. Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes until smooth, adding shortening if needed.
  5. Dip each cake ball into the melted coating using a fork, allowing excess to drip off before placing back on the sheet.
  6. Sprinkle coated balls with red and green sanding sugar or drizzle with melted red candy.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm, allowing the coating to set perfectly.
