Calories: ~120 per truffle

Ingredients

  • 1 box Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (5 cakes)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or almond bark
  • Optional toppings: green/red sprinkles, gold stars, crushed peppermint

Instructions

  1. Make the filling: Crumble the Christmas Tree Cakes into a bowl. Add softened cream cheese and mix until fully combined and dough-like.
  2. Roll: Scoop into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined sheet.
  3. Chill: Freeze for 15–20 minutes so they’re firm enough to dip.
  4. Dip: Melt white chocolate. Dip each truffle using a fork, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment.
  5. Decorate: Add holiday sprinkles before the coating sets.
  6. Set & serve: Let chocolate harden at room temperature or chill briefly.

Note

If the mixture seems too soft, add another half of a cake or chill the dough for 10 minutes before rolling.

Servings: 4
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Calories: 360

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Season & Sear:
  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Toast Almonds:
  1. In a separate dry skillet, toast sliced almonds until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Make Pan Sauce:

Notes

For a deeper, nutty richness, let the butter brown slightly before adding the garlic.
