Whether you’re making these with family, for your sweetheart, or just to treat yourself, this recipe is sure to spread joy, one cake ball at a time.

Let’s take a deep dive into this festive creation.

🎁 Ingredients (Makes about 30–36 cake balls)

For the Cake Balls:

🎄 10 Little Debbie Vanilla Christmas Tree Snack Cakes, unwrapped (about 2 boxes, 8.62 oz each)
❤️ 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature

For the Coating & Decoration:

🎁 20 oz White Chocolate Melting Wafers (Ghirardelli recommended for best flavor & texture)
💋 6 oz Red Vanilla-Flavored Candy Melting Wafers (Wilton or similar brand)
🌲 1 tbsp Green Sanding Sugar Sprinkles (for that sparkly holiday touch)

🥣 Instructions & Method

1. Make the Cake Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, crumble all 10 Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Use your hands, a fork, or even a stand mixer to break them down into small pieces.
Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbled cakes. Mix thoroughly until a thick, doughy consistency forms. It should be soft, but not sticky.

2. Shape the Balls

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into smooth 1-inch balls.
Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for 30–45 minutes or in the freezer for 10–15 minutes to firm them up before coating.

3. Coat with White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, gently lower each chilled cake ball into the white chocolate and fully coat.
Place the coated balls back on parchment paper to set. Allow a few minutes for the chocolate to firm up.

4. Decorate with Love

Melt the red candy melts in a piping bag or zip-top bag with the tip snipped off.
Drizzle red chocolate over each white-coated cake ball in zigzag patterns.
While the drizzle is still wet, sprinkle each one with green sanding sugar.

5. Chill & Serve

Chill the finished cake balls in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until the coating is set.
Serve on a festive tray, gift in holiday tins, or sneak one for yourself (you earned it)!

🎄 A Brief History of the Cake Ball

The concept of cake balls — or their upscale cousin, the cake pop — originated in the early 2000s, with bakers looking to reduce waste by using cake scraps. Combined with frosting and dipped in chocolate, these truffle-like treats became a trend thanks to their customizable nature and cute aesthetic.

The addition of Little Debbie cakes into the mix is a modern twist, elevating convenience and flavor while adding a heavy dose of nostalgia. It’s a dessert that bridges generations — a treat born from childhood snacks, now reimagined for holiday bakers and sweethearts alike.

🎨 The Formation of a Holiday Favorite

This recipe came from a spark of creativity — using store-bought ingredients to craft something handmade and heartfelt. When time is short but your love for baking (and gifting) runs deep, these cake balls strike the perfect balance.

The soft, creamy interior, coated in smooth chocolate and kissed with festive decor, makes them not only taste amazing but also look like they belong on a Hallmark movie dessert table.
