So last week I decided to make a batch of Oreo cupcakes, but with a difference, I am a lover of filling cupcakes with something special, and these are no different.
Biting into these cupcakes you will get everything you ever need in a chocolate based cupcake: Moist chocolate chip cake, Chocolate Oreo buttercream, Chocolate whipped dessert, and of course the star of the show OREOS!
