  • ½ cup melted butter

Filling:

  • 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
  • ¾ cup butter (room temperature)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

Coating:

  • 1 pound white almond bark
  • green sanding sugar
  • 1 cup red candy melts

Instructions

  1. Cake – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 16×12 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Whisk together cake mix, eggs, egg yolk, milk, and melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Filling – Beat marshmallow fluff, butter, powdered sugar until smooth. Spread on cake, cut into trees, and freeze.

  • If the red candy melts are too thick, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of melted shortening or coconut oil to thin them out.
