Oreo Cupcakes with Whipped Marshmallow Frosting

 

On my way to 365 recipes in 365 days.  Here is recipe 47.

My cousin and I decided that it was time to try a new cupcake recipe.  So, we set to Pinterest.  Carrie doesn’t usually love chocolate but we both really love Oreos.  So, we knew this would be a great recipe.

There is a full Oreo cookie hiding in the bottom of the cupcake liner.  Surprise!!  An extra treat!

I had seen this frosting recipe floating around Pinterest and I have been dying to try it.  I tweaked it and doubled the amount and it was amazing!  Paired with the chocolate cupcake, it tasted just like Oreo filling.  Oh my landy, I was licking my fingers while eating this one.

See that delicious Oreo just hiding in the bottom of that cupcake.  Make these right away and your friends and family will love you forever.
