how to make Christmas Tree Cake Truffles

Ingredients:

1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
8 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
3 tablespoons red candy melts (for drizzling, optional)
Green sanding sugar for decoration

Directions:

Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and place them in a large bowl.

Mix in the sprinkles.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls using your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat until all the dough is used.
Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or by using a double boiler.

Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or ziplock bag in the microwave in 30-second increments. Massage the bag between each increment to ensure the melts are fully melted.
