Christmas Tree Cake Truffles
These no-bake Christmas truffles are made with just five ingredients and are easy to prep ahead for holiday gifting. With a creamy cake-and-cream cheese center coated in sweet vanilla bark, they’re a fun and festive treat that's perfect for parties or cookie trays.
Ingredients
- 2 (5-count) boxes Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (10 snack cakes total)
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened
- 1 pound vanilla almond bark
- green sugar sprinkles
- 1/2 cup red candy melts
Instructions
- Unwrap the Christmas Tree Cakes and break them into pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mix with an electric beater until smooth and fully combined.
- Use a one-tablespoon scoop to portion the mixture, then roll into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for 30–60 minutes until firm.
- Melt the vanilla almond bark according to the package directions.
- Dip each truffle into the melted bark using a fork, let the excess drip off, then return to the parchment.
- Immediately top with green sugar sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Melt the red candy melts according to the package directions and drizzle over the coated truffles.
- Let the coating fully harden at room temperature or in the fridge before serving or storing.
Notes

- They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
