My daughter Kyla (almost 12) and I have a Mother/daughter recipe blog: www.doublethedeliciousness.blogspot.com. Our slogan is “Cooking with 2 is fun to do”! It has been a great way to teach my daughter some needed cooking/baking skills that she will most definitely need in the future! It’s also been a really great way to spend some time together…we don’t only cook/bake, but we talk, laugh, and really enjoy our time together!These cupcakes are for you, if you love Oreo’s! Not only is there oreo’s in the frosting but there is a whole oreo at the bottom of each cupcake as well as crushed oreo’s in the batter…not to mention the oreo on top of the frosting! Now do you understand why it’s called Death by Oreo cupcakes??:) The cake was super good, nice and light and fluffy. But my favorite part was the frosting!! It tasted like cookies and cream ice cream. I wanted to pipe it right into my mouth, but don’t worry I refrained…for the most part!:)
Make these…not only do they taste great but they look really impressive too!
Death by Oreo Cupcakes
Recipe slightly adapted from recipe at Dee Dee’s Delights
1 box chocolate fudge cake mix + ingredients on box
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
3 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
While cupcakes are cooling, making the frosting…
Cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla extract and then the powdered sugar slowly until well blended. Then finely crush about 4 more oreos and add to the frosting.
When the cupcakes are cool. Use a piping bag with a big tip to make a swirl of frosting on each cupcake. Then carefully cut 12 oreo cookies in half. It took me a little bit to figure out how to do this without cracking the oreo’s. I found the best way was to use a serated knife and cut them in half like you were slicing bread or sawing some wood in half. And don’t worry…if you break some you can just pop them in your mouth and no one will be the wiser!! Place half of an oreo on top of each cupcake.
Don’t they just look amazing?!?!

These look yummy, i’ve been looking for something fun to make for my son’s treat for his class on his birthday, and i think i just found it
Thanks so much for the feautre Mariel…love your blog, so many great ideas here!! (And this post makes me want to go and make these again…SO DIVINE!!!:)
These are so delicious…. mmmmmmmm…..
I seriously LOVE Oreos. I have never had an Oreo dessert I didn’t like…you’re killing me with these! I can’t wait to make them. Thanks, ladies! I’m so glad that you shared with us
The plural of Oreo is Oreos not Oreo’s. An apostrophe S (‘s) indicates possession, and Oreos don’t own anything. Just sayin. (It’s a pet peeve of mine)
I open one of my favorite blogs and there is one of my favorite cousins and her cute daughter guest posting! Looks yum! We’ve made several of your recipes and they never disappoint…love you
I think if there is a good way to die, Oreos would be a great way to go. You always have AMAZING recipes so I can’t wait to give this one a try!
Made these with my daughters and a friend on a play date. Simple enough recipe that even help from two six year olds and two four year olds didn’t change the results
My family LOVED them! We (reluctantly) let the friend take 6 home for her family…. and within minutes her mom was on the phone asking for the recipe! This one is a real winner Jana!
