Directions
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper for easy release later.
Make Dough: In a bowl, combine crushed chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes with softened cream cheese. Beat until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Shape Truffles: Portion out dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop and place on the lined baking sheet.
Freeze: Freeze the baking sheet for about 30 minutes until the truffle balls are firm.
Melt Coating: Microwave the white candy melts in short intervals until smooth, usually 1-2 minutes.
Coat Truffles: Dip each frozen truffle ball into the melted candy coating until completely covered.
Decorate: Sprinkle the coated truffles with red and green sanding sugar immediately.
Set: Return truffles to the refrigerator until the coating is set, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve: Enjoy these truffles with family and friends for a delightful holiday treat!
Notes
Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate for extra decoration. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth dough. Chill truffles to maintain shape before coating.
