Perfect twist on a classic Little Debbie cake.

2 Boxes of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes

2 Bars of melting white chocolate

Prep Time: 20 minutes 

Freezer: 10 minutes

Yields: 15-20 cake balls 

This recipe is very simple, and your kids are going to love it! I took two boxes of Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes and put them in my KitchenAid mixer. The icing inside the cakes will act as your binder. When it is all mixed up, roll the cakes into small balls, and put them on a baking sheet in the freezer for five minutes. While that is in the freezer, grab your melting chocolate and melt that down. Add red food coloring to get your desired color, and dip the cake balls in the chocolate. Back in the freezer for five minutes, and you have a delicious twist on a classic snack cake. 

Pit Master Tip:

You can substitute the melting chocolate bars and use whatever food coloring you want. This is a Christmas favorite, so we opted for red. You can also add the green and red sugar on top if you would like.
