How To Make oreo truffle cupcakes

• 1

  Crush 24 Oreo cookies into crumbs. Beat in the softened cream cheese. Roll into at least 24 balls that are 1 1/2 inch big. Freeze for 30 minutes. Mix up the cake mix according to the package directions. Place 1/2 an Oreo cookie into the bottom of 24 cupcake liners. You can use either side of the cookie for this. I leave the frosting on the cookies too. Fill the liners one third full of batter. Drop a frozen Oreo truffle into each cupcake liner. Top with enough batter to cover the truffle. Do not fill more than 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Let cool completely.

Keep refrigerated.
