Ingredients

Cupcakes:

  • 15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix
  • 3.4 ounce box instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 24 Oreos

Frosting:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ⅓ cup instant chocolate fudge pudding mix dry
  • 2 cups crushed Oreos
  • 24 Oreos for topping
  • 2 Cookies & Cream Chocolate bars divided for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, line a cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl add all the ingredients for the cupcakes and whisk together until combined. Set aside.
  • Place one Oreo in each one of the cupcake liners.
  • With a medium cookie scoop, scoop about 1½ scoops of batter and place on top of each Oreo. If you do not have a medium cookie scoop this is about 3 Tablespoons.
  • Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Remove the cupcakes from the oven then remove each one from the cupcake pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pudding mix in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. You can also do this with an electric hand mixer as well.
  • Place frosting in a piping bag, cut the tip off so you have a larger hole and pipe a large mound onto the tops of the cupcakes.
  • Place the crushed Oreos in a small bowl and roll the tops of the frosted cupcakes in the crushed Oreos so they stick to the frosting.
  • Top with an Oreo and a piece of the cookies ‘n cream chocolate bar if desired for garnish.

Notes

  1. DO NOT use the ingredients on the back of the box, we substitute them with others.
  2. You can switch up the frosting to another flavor or another frosting completely, see my suggestions above.
  3. Make your own homemade chocolate cake mix.
  4. Decorate your cupcakes right before serving as the Oreos can become soggy.
  5. These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
  6. Switch up the Oreo flavors for the bottom Oreo.
