8 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
-
3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
-
3 tablespoons red candy melts (optional, for drizzling)
-
Green sanding sugar (optional but festive!
Instructions
1. Make the Dough
-
Unwrap the Christmas Tree Cakes and place them into a large mixing bowl.
-
Mix with a handheld mixer until they turn into a soft, crumbly dough.
-
Add sprinkles and mix again.
2. Form the Truffles
-
Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough.
-
Roll between your hands to form smooth balls.
-
Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes while you melt the chocolate.
3. Coat in White Chocolate
-
Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each.
-
Dip each chilled truffle using a fork or dipping tool.
-
Let excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated truffles back onto the baking sheet.
4. Decorate
-
Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or Ziplock bag (30-second bursts in the microwave).
-
Snip a tiny corner and drizzle over the truffles.
-
Sprinkle with green sanding sugar for a Christmas sparkle.
-
Let the truffles set in the fridge for a few minutes.
Notes
-
Chill the dough before dipping — it helps the truffles keep their shape.
-
Don’t overheat the chocolate — short microwave bursts prevent burning.

Use candy melts if you want smoother, easier dipping.
