Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
  • 4-6 ounces cream cheese, softened Start with less, add if needed
  • 1 cup white candy melts or white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup green candy melts, optional for drizzle Optional but cute
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles Tiny nonpareils look like ornaments

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Unwrap the snack cakes and toss them into a big bowl. Use a fork or clean hands to crumble them up until there are no big chunks.
  2. Add softened cream cheese. Mix to achieve a dough-like texture that holds together when squeezed. If it feels crumbly, add a little more cream cheese.
  3. Roll into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the balls for at least 30 minutes to help them stay firm when dipped.
  5. Melt your white candy melts. Dip each ball, let the excess drip off, then place back on the lined sheet.
  6. While the coating is still wet, add sprinkles. If drizzling, wait until the coating is set, then drizzle melted green candy melts over the top.
  7. Chill again until everything is firm.

Notes

You can customize the cake balls with different toppings and flavors. For a richer bite, use chocolate coating instead of white chocolate. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days or freeze for 1-2 months.
