How to Make These Little Debbie Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes Truffles

Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the full step-by-step instructions! 

1. Unwrap each cake and put them all into a large bowl. Mash them together by using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer on medium speed.
2. Line a sheet pan or cutting board with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone mat.
3. Use a small cookie scoop to take out the cake batter and roll it into 1-inch balls between the palms of your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Place the truffles in the fridge. Put the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for two or three 30-second increments while stirring it in between.
5. Dip the truffles into the melted chocolate using a chocolate dipping fork and place them back onto the baking sheets.
6. Put the white chocolate chips into a bowl and microwave it for a couple of 30-second intervals while stirring it in between. Then put that into a piping bag or Ziploc bag, cut off the tip, drizzle the white chocolate onto the truffles and add the green sugar sprinkles before the semi-sweet chocolate cools and solidifies.
7. Put them in the fridge until it sets.

Pro Tip:

To ensure you are able to get the white chocolate drizzle and sprinkles on in time before the semi-sweet chocolate solidifies to room temperature, prepare them ahead of time. Have the white chocolate chips in a bowl, your piping bag and scissors out, and have your sprinkles ready all before putting the semi-sweet chocolate into the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

How to Store the Little Debbie Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes Truffles

If you want to keep it on the sheet pan and you have the room for it in the fridge, simply wrap it in plastic wrap.

I don’t recommend keeping them like that for multiple days though, the best way to store them is to transfer them to an airtight container and putting them in the fridge like that. They should last up to a week like that.

Can I Freeze Them?

Of course! You can store them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

I Have Leftover Excess Chocolate, What Should I Do With It?

There are so many ways and multiple recipes to use up that extra chocolate left in the bowl, here are couple of my favorites you could try:

• Easy & Healthy Viral Date Bark Recipe
• The Best Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Crack Recipe
• The Easiest Chocolate Covered Marshmallows

What Other Toppings Can I Use Besides Sprinkles?

• Candy Canes: If you’re a peppermint chocolate fan you should definitely try crushed peppermint candies.
• Pretzels: The salt from crushed pretzel pieces will balance out the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly.
• Nuts: Chopped peanuts and almonds on top will make these truffles taste like a peanut butter cup!
