(A side note, I think she must've put a TEENSIE bit of green food coloring in her frosting, because mine didn't turn out green at all, but hers did. Really, it's up to you. That is the ONLY thing I have to add to this recipe! It's THAT GOOD!!!)
Mint Oreo Cupcakes
INGREDIENTS For the cupcakes: 24 Mint Oreos Box Chocolate Cake Mix 1 stick of butter, melted 1 cup water 3 eggs Preheat oven to 350. Line 24 muffin tins with cupcake liners. Place a Oreo in the bottom of each liner. In the bowl of a mixer, combine cake mix, melted butter, water and eggs. Beat on low for one minute. Scrape sides of bowl and increase speed to high. Beat for another minute. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full and bake for about 15 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before serving. For Frosting: 15 Mint Oreos, crushed completely into superfine crumbs 4 sticks of butter, softened 4 Tablespoons milk 8 cups powdered sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 teaspoons mint extract In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter, milk, and extracts on low speed until smooth and combined. Slowly add powdered sugar and beat on low until just mixed. Increase speed to medium high and beat for 2 minutes. Add cookie crumbs and beat on low until well combined. Pipe frosting on cupcakes (I used a large round tip) and top with an extra Oreo, if desired. You can always just regular frost them too. And also your husband can just squeeze the extra frosting directly into his mouth.  The anticipation is HORRENDOUS!!!  Here's the frosting. Clearly, I desperately need help with my photography skills.  Look at that. Drink it in. Eat it up. It's a good thing. Recipe Source: Confessions of a Cookbook Queen |
