Ingredients
  

  • 10 Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree snack cakes 2 – 8.62 oz. boxes: These provide the base flavor and texture for the cake balls.
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened: This adds richness and creaminess to the mixture, allowing for an indulgent mouthfeel.
  • 20 oz. white chocolate melting wafers Ghirardelli recommended: Used for coating the cake balls, these melts give a smooth, sweet exterior.
  • 6 oz. red vanilla flavored melting candy wafers Wilton recommended: These are essential for decorating the cake balls with festive flair.
  • 1 tbsp green sanding sugar sprinkles: These sprinkles give a touch of holiday color and texture to the finished treats.

Method
 

  1. Line two baking sheets: Start by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake balls from sticking.
  2. Prepare cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz. of softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This will create a creamy filling for the cake balls.
  3. Crumble the snack cakes: Take 10 Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree snack cakes and crumble them into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until combined; the mixture should resemble a thick dough.
  4. Form the cake balls: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll it into balls approximately the size of a tablespoon. Place them on one of the lined baking sheets.
  5. Chill the cake balls: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the cake balls freeze for about 30 to 45 minutes until they are firm to the touch.
  6. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 20 oz. of white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
  7. Coat the cake balls: Dip each frozen cake ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Decorate: Use a piping bag filled with 6 oz. of red vanilla flavored melting candy wafers to drizzle decoratively over the white chocolate-coated cake balls. Immediately sprinkle 1 tbsp of green sanding sugar on top for a festive touch.
  9. Let set: Allow the cake balls to sit at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate coating sets before serving.
  10. With these clear instructions, you’ll have no trouble creating these festive treats to impress your guests or delight your family!
