How to Make Death By Oreo Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions, using the specified amounts of eggs, milk, and oil.
  3. Set aside 1/2 of the prepared cake batter.
  4. Place one regular-sized Oreo cookie in the bottom of each cupcake liner.
  5. Roughly chop 1/2 of the remaining Oreo cookies. Gently fold the chopped Oreos into the reserved cake batter.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with the plain batter. Top with the Oreo-studded batter, filling almost to the top of the liners.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While cupcakes are baking, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  9. Add vanilla extract. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  10. Finely chop the remaining Oreo cookies. Stir the finely chopped Oreos into the frosting.
  11. Once cupcakes have completely cooled, frost generously with the Oreo frosting.
  12. Decorate with mini Oreos on top.
