Outrageous Oreo Cupcakes

Okay, so these cupcakes are both delicious and incredibly simple...and not to mention, pretty cheap!

I made these cupcakes last minute for a friend's birthday but the reviews made it seem as if I worked all day!
Here's what you will need:

• 1 box of Devil's Food Cake Mix (& ingredients according to box-mix)
• 1 package of cream-filled chocolate cookies (Double Stuffed Oreos work best)
• 1 tub of Vanilla Frosting
• 1 zip-sealed plastic sandwich bag

Let's get started:
Line your cupcake/muffin pan with paper liners. Place an Oreo in the bottom of each liner.
For the batter: Follow the directions on the Devil's Food Cake Mix box for appropriate oven temperature,  batter mixture, and baking time. Once cupcake batter is ready, pour over the Oreos in the liners and bake for time indicated on box. (The Oreos will not affect baking time.)
For the topping: While those delicious cupcakes are baking, put aside about 10 Oreo cookies. Put those cookies, 5 at a time, into plastic bag and crush them with the back of heavy metal spoon until coarsely chopped. Repeat with the next 5 cookies.

Empty the contents of Vanilla Frosting tub into medium bowl. Pour the crushed cookie pieces into the bowl and mix well with the icing.


Once cupcakes are finished baking, let them cool for 15-20mins.
Once completely cooled, ice them with your (sort of) homemade Cookies'n'Cream Frosting.
*Garnish: If any cookies are left over, break them each in half and stick into top of icing on cupcake.
  Or buy a package of Mini-Oreos and garnish with those.


So there you have it! Probably the easiest, most delicious, and semi-homemade cupcake recipe I've made so far. :)
Please enjoy & get creative!
