THHomemade Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
Soft vanilla almond snack cake, fluffy marshmallow filling, and a smooth Ghirardelli white chocolate coating. If you grew up on these, you have to try making them from scratch! They’re cozy, nostalgic, and wayyy easier than they look.
Save this to make for a holiday movie night, cookie swap, or Christmas brunch. Follow along, I’m posting the full step-by-step tutorial next week! Recipe below👇🏻
