Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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)

Instruction

  • 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.
