    Christmas Tree Cake Dip is a creamy, sweet dip inspired by the iconic Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. These cakes are a staple in many households during the festive season, known for their vanilla cake, cream filling, and festive tree shape adorned with green sprinkles and red icing. The dip version captures the essence of these beloved treats, transforming them into a dessert that’s perfect for sharing.

    I've been kind of naughty this week making Christmas Puppy Chow and this Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake Dip. My stomach doesn't like it much but everything was so good. There's one more treat I want to make and its Kitchen Sink Cookies. Those are coming later this week.

    Little Debbie Christmas Trees are a weakness of mine during the Holidays, and I thought it'd be fun to try it in a dip.
