Oreo Cupcakes w/ Oreo Frosting!

As you can probably guess, I LOVE making food for people.

So I was beyond thrilled when a few friends of mine requested specific cupcakes. These cupcakes are a result of one request (there will be more to come.) My friend Elise asked for Oreo cupcakes and this is what I came up with.

Of course, I gave some to Elise but among the other taste testers are: my boyfriend, the girls at the gym, my roommate, and my roommates' friends.

They all loved them. But more specifically, everyone RAVED about the frosting.

Hopefully that gives you a little perspective.

On to the recipe!

Oreo Cupcakes

(About 32)

1 box Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix

4 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 box of Oreo pudding mix
1 & 1/3 cup water

Oreo Frosting

2 cups powdered sugar

1 cup salted butter (room temperature)

Oreo creme from 15 double stuffed oreos

15 cookies worth of oreo crumbs

Cupcakes:
1. Preheat oven to 350º F.
2. Prepare your pan by greasing or inserting cupcake liners (about 32.)
3. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 3 eggs, oil, and water. Mixing until combined.
4. Add in box of Oreo pudding mix and 1 egg (the 4th egg.) Mix until combined.
5. Fill each liner about 3/4ths of the way full. Bake for 19-22 min. or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Frosting:
In a medium to large sized bowl, cream together sugar, butter, and oreo creme until light and fluffy. In a  food processor, grind the 15 cookies that you took the oreo creme from until they become crumbs.* Add in to your frosting mix. Frost cupcakes when cool.

*Technically, you could probably food process the oreo with the creme inside then add it to your frosting but this is the way I did it.
