Chocolate Cupcakes (for homemade chocolate cake, see above in post)

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix + ingredients (sugar-free, gluten-free mixes can also be used)
  • 36 Oreos, chopped

Easiest Oreo Vanilla Frosting (for homemade frosting, see in notes)

  • 4 16 oz. tubs Vanilla Frosting Might be able to get away with 2 or 3 tubs, it just depends how much frosting you want.
  • 10-20 Oreo Cookies crushed into crumbs

Toppings

  • Drizzles Chocolate Sauce I used Hershey's, can also use hot fudge or chocolate ganache
  • 12 Oreos cut in half
  • Optional Sprinkles

Instructions

Oreo Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven and make cupcake batter and add chopped Oreo cookies. Bake according to cake mix directions. Let cupcakes cool.

Oreo Vanilla Frosting

  • Using a mixer, mix together the vanilla frosting and Oreo crumbs and place in pastry bag with large star tip for fancy swirl.

Toppings

  • Drizzle some chocolate sauce on top and place an Oreo cookie half on top of each cupcake. Add sprinkles if desired.
  • Store covered at room temperature or refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

For Homemade Oreo Vanilla Frosting:
  • 10-15 Oreo Cookies
  • 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
  1. Crush Oreos into crumbs, if piping onto cupcakes, make sure the cookies aren't too big or they won't go through the star tip and plug it. 
  2. Mix butter together with powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, until all blended, then add in vanilla and cream and mix together until creamy.
  3. Add crushed Oreo's and blend well.
  4. If mixture is too thick, add additional teaspoon of heavy cream one at a time until desired thickness is achieved.
