Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
- Crush the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes in a large mixing bowl until finely crumbled.
- Add softened cream cheese to the crushed cakes and mix until a pliable dough forms.

- Serve on a festive platter and enjoy!
Notes
For a twist, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate, or add crushed peppermint for a refreshing kick.
