Cookies and Cream Oreo Cupcakes



Cupcakes: 1 box white cake mix
1 package double stuft oreos

Make cupcake batter according to package directions.
Set aside. Twist apart 24 double stuft oreos, and place
the wafer with the filling on it (filling side up) in the bottom
of each paper liner. Set aside the other half of the 24 wafers.
With the remaining full oreos, put in a ziploc bag and use a
rolling pin to crush them.
Fold in the crushed oreo pieces into the batter. Fill liners 3/4 full
and bake according to mix directions. Let fully cool before frosting
them.

Frosting:
1 package cream cheese (room temp)
1 stick of butter (room temp)
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream (or whole milk)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
24 oreo havles (that you set aside earlier)

Mix together cream cheese, butter, powdered
sugar, cream and vanilla with a hand mixer for about
2 min.

Frost each cupcake and then sprinkle on any remaining
oreo crumbs as garnish.

Add an oreo half as garnish right before serving.
Serve and enjoy.

Makes 24 cupcakes
(Instead of adding an oreo half as garnish, you can
add a mini oreo on the top. That's what we did for
Jake and Summer's reception and it turned out
super cute.)

Cupcake Pies

Its been forever since I have made a post on this so I think its about time! These little cupcake pies are super cute and way easy to make! I made these for Treagans work BBQ for the 4th of July.  They were a huge hit! Everyone said they loved them.  And they were gone in seconds ha

You will need. . .
Pie Crust (I used store bought pie crust I didn't attempt to make it but you sure can!)
1 Can of your choice of pie filling (Since it was the 4th I used blue berry)
Cupcake pans
Butter
Sugar
Star shape cookie cutters (or whatever holiday it may be you can use that shape)
I used a cup to make the circle for the crust of the pies.  Just press and lift and you will have a perfect sized pie crust.
Make it fit in the cupcake pan like you would a pie.
Fill with your choice of pie filling. (I filled it half way, but if you put a little more in it will kind of spill out and it looks really cute)
Cut the starts out for the top
Melt the butter and dip the stars in them and then sprinkle sugar on top of the stars
put the "star" on the top of the pies
bake them to however the pie crust calls for.

Love,
