Keep calm and have an Oreo Cupcake

To help endure this dreary weather, I decided to make cupcakes in celebration of Oreo's 100th Birthday.  With the help of two of the coolest teens you'll ever meet, we were able to create a batch of delicious Oreo Cupcakes.



Below is a basic recipe for Oreo Cupcakes, Miss Honey's version.  I deviated from the original Death by Oreo Cupcake Recipe, just a little bit.  The cupcake itself, as you will see,  is overloaded with oreo cookies.  Instead of making an oreo-filled frosting I decided to go with  plain vanilla frosting as it evens out the taste so you can enjoy the oreos and the cupcake bite by bite!  I hope you love them as much as we did.

Here ya go::
