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. But the almond bark works great for the white chocolate coating.
-
Red candy melts- For the classic drizzle.
-
Green sugar sprinkles- These also give the truffles that iconic look.
