Death By Oreo Cupcakes

I love chocolate, and I love Oreos...this was the best of both worlds.

Cupcakes:

1 pkg oreos, regular size

1 pkg mini Oreos for decoration (I didn't do this because I was just making them for us, but I would have if I had been taking them to an event because it does make them look cute.)

1 chocolate cake mix made according to directions on box

Frosting:

1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature

8 Tbsp butter, room temperature

3 3/4 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

**I halved the frosting recipe, and I still had plenty of frosting. The lady who made this recipe heaped frosting on top like they do at the store, and I don't like that much frosting, so I didn't need the full recipe.

cupcake liners

1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix packaged cake mix according to directions. (Do not bake.)

2. Line cupcake tins with liner, place an regular size oreo cookie in the bottom of each one

3. Take 1/2 of remaining cookies and chop coarsely and add to cake mix. Fill the cupcake tins. Bake for 15 min (or according to box directions). While cupcakes are baking make the frosting.

4. Cream together butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla, then add powdered sugar slowly until blended well.

5. Chop remaining regular-sized Oreos very fine. Add to frosting.

6. After cupcakes are cool put frosting on and decorate with a few mini oreos on top
