Instructions

Crumble the Cake: Begin by crumbling the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes into a large bowl. Use your hands or a fork to break them into fine crumbs to create a uniform texture.
Mix: Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to the cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and holds together when pressed, indicating it’s ready to be shaped.
Shape: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cake mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth, even balls. Place each shaped ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Coat: Using a fork, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate, rolling it to coat evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning the coated ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Decorate: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle red and green sprinkles over the cake balls to give them a festive holiday appearance.
Chill: Place the coated and decorated cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully set and firm up.
Serve: Once the coatings are set, serve the cake balls chilled or at room temperature and enjoy this delightful holiday treat.

Notes

For easier rolling, keep your hands slightly damp or lightly dusted with powdered sugar.
If white chocolate thickens before coating all cake balls, gently remelt to maintain a smooth consistency.
Store leftover cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For a different flavor twist, try dipping cake balls in milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
These cake balls can be made a day ahead and stored chilled, making them convenient for holiday gatherings.
