After chilling the truffles melt your almond bark.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Of course! You can make these the day before, or you can freeze the balls before dipping in chocolate for up to 3 months ahead of time. 

Can I use the chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes?

Of course!  They will be just as delicious! And you can use either white or milk chocolate coating for the outside.

How to store these?

Because they do have cream cheese in them I like to store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Ingredients used

• Christmas Tree Cakes- I like to use the classic vanilla ones but feel free to use the chocolate version too!

• Cream cheese- Make sure your cream cheese is softened.

•  White almond bark- Or white candy melts, do not try to use white chocolate chips, they just do not melt down as well.

• Red candy melts- For the classic drizzle.

• Green sugar sprinkles-  These also give the truffles that iconic look.
