Description

These delightful Little Debbie Christmas Cake Balls are a festive and fun dessert made by combining crumbled Christmas Tree Cakes with cream cheese, coated in white chocolate and decorated with colorful sprinkles. Perfect for holiday parties or a sweet seasonal treat, they are easy to make and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (10 cakes)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Decoration (optional)

  • Red and green sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 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, ensuring there are no large chunks.
  2. Mix: Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and holds together when pressed, indicating it’s ready to shape.
  3. Shape: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  5. Coat: Dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing the balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Decorate: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle red and green sprinkles over the cake balls for a festive look, if desired.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the white chocolate coating to fully set and harden.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the cake balls chilled or at room temperature as a sweet holiday treat.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with almond bark for easier melting and coating.
  • For a quicker set time, chill the cake balls in the freezer for 15-20 minutes instead of the refrigerator.
  • Store cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If sprinkles are not available, shredded coconut or colored sugar can be used as alternative decorations.
