Instructions

How to Make Little Debbie Cake Balls

  • Start by lining a baking sheet with waxed paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the crumbled Vanilla Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes and cream cheese until well blended.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture into 1-inch balls and roll smooth.
  • Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals.
  • Dip each cake ball into the melted candy, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  • Place the coated cake balls on the sheet, sprinkle with sanding sugar, and drizzle with red candy melts if desired.
  • Refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth blend and freeze cake balls before coating for easier dipping.
