Ingredients:
1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size1 package Mini Oreo Cookies (optional)
1 package chocolate cake mix (and ingredients to make according to box)
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), room temperature
3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cupcake liners
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the packaged chocolate cake mix according to the instructions given on the box. Take half of the package of regular sized Oreos, chop them up coarsely, and add to cake batter. Line cupcake tins with cupcake liners and place a whole Oreo in the bottom of each liner. Fill the cupcake tins with Oreo cake batter mix. Bake for according to boxed cake directions or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. When cupcakes are finished, take them out and let them completely cool! If they are not completely cooled off before frosting them, they will melt the frosting.
For the frosting:
Cream together the butter and cream cheese. I did this using a hand electric mixer. Add vanilla, then add powdered sugar slowly until blended well. Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine. I put the remaining Oreos in the food processor until finely crushed. Making sure they are finely crushed is important so that no Oreo chunks get stuck in the tip of your piping bag. Add finely crushed Oreos to cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla mix. I use gallon Ziploc bags as piping bags. Put all the frosting in the Ziploc or piping bag, and cut a little bit off a corner of the bag. Push all the frosting in the bag towards that corner. After cupcakes have cooled off completely, frost them with your piping bag, starting on the outside of the cupcake, working your way in. Once frosted, decorate with mini Oreos.
Keep cupcakes refrigerate. Let them thaw out before eating them out of the fridge so that the frosting is creamy.
Enjoy! :)
