Ingredients

  • 30 Oreo cookies 339 grams
  • 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese 114 grams, cold (½ brick)
  • 6 ounces white chocolate melting wafers 170 grams (or Vanilla Almond Bark)
  • 5 ounces dark or milk chocolate melting wafers 142 grams (or good quality chocolate chips)
  • ¼ cup chocolate icing 31 grams, homemade or store-bought (to act as glue)
  • 24 Rolo candies 144 grams
  • Edible markers to make the eyes and lips

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
  • In a food processor or strong blender, pulse the Oreos until they're finely chopped. Add the cream cheese and pulse until the entire mixture is creamed together.

  • Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes, or until it is a bit firmer and cold.
  • Roll the truffle mixture into balls and place them on the baking sheet. (TIP: To help with this process, I sprayed my hands with nonstick spray. This helped in rolling without them being super sticky).
  • Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until firm. After removing them from the refrigerator, you can re-roll them to make them more the shape you want if they have depressed at all.
  • Heat the white chocolate or almond bark in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.

  • Dip each truffle into the white chocolate fully and then place it on the baking sheet again. Place in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes to set the chocolate/bark.
  • Heat the milk or dark chocolate in the microwave the same way as before, stirring in between and being careful not to burn.

  • Dip each side of each truffle into the chocolate, making the "hair line". If it works better you can use a fork for this part, dipping each side and then placing the truffle back on the wax paper.
  • Again let the truffles rest in the fridge for 20 minutes to set the chocolate.
  • Take each truffle and place a bit of icing on each side, where you want Leia's "hair buns" to go. Attach a Rolo to each side and place back on the wax paper.

  • Again allow them to sit in the refrigerator to set the icing. (tedious, but cuteness is upon us!)
  • Using edible markers, draw a face on each truffle. I did simple dots for eyes and a small heart for the mouth.

Notes

  • You can make these Princess Leia Oreo truffles with any flavor Oreos you like. I used original, but all will work great. Instead of Rolos, you could also use Maltesers.
  • Spray your hands with nonstick spray when rolling the truffles as they will be very sticky.
  • Allow the chocolate to set fully between each chocolate dip or the colors will drip and bleed into each other.
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • If frozen, let thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before enjouing.
Storage: Store Princess Leia Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
