Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box vanilla or funfetti cake mix
  • 2 eggs (or flaxseed meal mixed with water for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz white chocolate or candy melts (or dark chocolate)
  • Festive sprinkles or edible glitter (or crushed nuts/shredded coconut as alternatives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix package.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and melted butter, following the package instructions. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake according to the time suggested on the package. Once done, let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Once your cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl using your hands to break it down into fine crumbs.
  5. Mix in about half a cup of frosting into the cake crumbs, adjusting the amount based on how moist you want your truffles to be. Mix thoroughly until combined.
  6. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them into tree shapes if desired.
  7. Place the truffles in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. While the truffles chill, melt your white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
  10. While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with your chosen decorations to create the perfect Christmas tree appearance.
  11. Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or place the truffles in the fridge for quicker setting.
