Oreo Cupcakes

Oreo are my weakness. You could probably tell from my Oreo Brownies and Chocolate Oreo Cake recipes. So what's left? Cupcakes of course!

When my aunt volunteered me to make 100 cupcakes (yes, 100!) for the youth group at church, I figured these would go over pretty well. The frosting is rich and creamy, and very yummy! Plus, what kid (or adult) doesn't love Oreos?? You really can't go wrong with these cupcakes and they are simple to make...enjoy! :)
