Ingredients
Scale
10 Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree snack cakes, unwrapped (from 2 – 8.62 oz. boxes)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers, Ghirardelli brand used
6 ounces red vanilla flavored melting candy wafers, Wilton brand used
1 tablespoon green sanding sugar sprinkles
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat on medium speed, using a handheld mixer, for 1-2 minutes or until fluffy and smooth.
Break the Little Debbie vanilla Christmas tree Snack Cakes into smaller pieces and add to the bowl of beaten cream cheese. Mix on low speed just until fully combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out a 1 tablespoon sized portion of cake ball mixture and place into the palm of your hand. Gently roll to form a smooth ball.
Place the Little Debbie Christmas tree cake ball onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all the cake balls have been formed.
Freeze the cake balls for 30-45 minutes, or until completely solid.
Melt the white chocolate wafers in a medium bowl according to package directions and stir to a smooth consistency.
In a separate small bowl, melt the red vanilla flavored candy wafers according to package directions and stir until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag with the tip cut off.
Coat each cake ball in the melted white chocolate, lifting it out with a fork and tapping to remove excess.
Place the coated cake ball on the second baking sheet, pipe a decorative ziz-zag pattern with red candy and sprinkle with green sanding sugar.
Let the cake balls set for 15-20 minutes until the coating is firm before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for best mixing.
Use a fork with wide tines to tap excess chocolate off the cake ball.
Store in a cool place to keep chocolate from melting.
