These are not only really pretty cupcakes, they are delicious and will be a real crowd-pleaser. We loved the Oreo on the bottom. It's a hidden treat! The frosting is perfect and tastes like cookies and cream ice cream. Kids - big and small - are going to love these!

1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
- 8 oz. cream cheese (room temp)
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
4 cup(s) powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.
  • Sift cake mix into a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs, oil, sour cream, milk and vanilla extract until smooth
  • Stir in cake mix into wet mix, mixing well.
  • Take your Oreo's and place one at the bottom of each cupcake liner.
  • Scoop batter over each Oreo to fill the liners about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Let cool.
  • While those are cooking, take your Oreo cookies (just the chocolate pieces and not the filling) and crush in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
  • In a medium bowl beat butter and cream cheese together. Add vanilla extract and slowly add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time beating to make smooth.
  • When you have that all mixed sift your crushed Oreos into the mixture. Any broken up chunks left in the sifter put aside.
  • Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
  • Top with extra Oreos sprinkle chunks you set aside.
