Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by unwrapping the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Crumble the cakes thoroughly until they resemble fine crumbs.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbled cake mixture and blend until smooth to form a cohesive dough.
  3. Scoop small portions and roll them between your hands to form bite-sized balls, placing each onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Refrigerate the rolled truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  5. Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until completely smooth, optionally adding shortening or coconut oil.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet after allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  7. While the chocolate coating is still wet, drizzle melted green candy melts over the truffles and sprinkle with red sprinkles.
  8. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely.
