Cool Mint Oreo Cupcakes

by megan on May 5, 2009

I had half a bag of Cool Mint Oreos left from making the Chocolate Grasshopper Pie, so I decided to make another minty treat. I chopped up 12 of the Cool Mint Oreos and mixed them into some Devil’s Food Cake Mix prepared according the directions. After a little mixing, pouring, baking and cooling…..The result was some yummy chocolate cupcakes with surprise pockets of mint chocolate cookies. So are you an Oreo fan? Do you like the original flavor or some of their fun flavor creations?

These are great! Next time you have leftover Oreos, you can also make this: Black Forest Oreo Crisp

Siobhan May 8, 2009 at 4:34 pm

I love the Halloween oreos! Those cupcakes look amazing!

Looks so yummy! I love oreos but have never had cool mint oreos.

Scoop May 8, 2009 at 10:24 pm

Drool…I like how that is a normal size cupcake. I’m trying to avoid all the supersized foods, even the ones that purport to be healthy. Your cupcake looks really good!

Katrina May 12, 2009 at 12:46 am

I do love Oreos, but think it’s more fun to play around with them in recipes than to just eat an Oreo. I want to know when they are going to come out with banana filling in the middle of an Oreo!

I personally only like to experiment with oreos in recipes but the kids that I watch love all of the different varieties of oreos there are!! They especially love the new strawberry milkshake oreos… Maybe u could make a recipe with that type of cookie!! :)
