Cookies-N-Cream Cupcakes – 6 WW pts with frosting (from Crazy about Cupcakes) makes 24
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies, lightly crushed
Preheat over to 350F. Insert liners into a medium cupcake pan.
In a large bowl cream together the butter, milk, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix until integrated. Stir in sugar. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat for 30 seconds. Turn the mixer up to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg whites. Beat for 2 more minutes. Stir in the crushed cookies.

For frosting, we used this recipe and crushed up some Oreos and mixed them in as well.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
This recipe looks fantastic, I would love to try it, any idea what I could use as a substitute for the frozen whipped topping? I think such a thing would be hard to find here, can I make it? x
wow that looks simple, and 3 muskateers are the “healthier” candy bar, right? hehe
Um, why is this recipe so easy? This could be deadly in my kitchen!
These are SUCH a good idea!! Seriously, I’m super impressed! 🙂
Sues
Who knew you could make 3 Musketeers?! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Wow! They look just like the real deal, and that recipe sounds way too easy. So dangerous!!
Oh my goodness…these look amazing! Nicely done : )
Homemade candy makes my feel not as guilty when I’m devouring a whole bunch 🙂
Seriously, you’re an amazing baker!! I would never think to make these at home. They look fantastic!
I was afraid to read through the whole recipe in fear I’d run straight to the kitchen. they look amazing
THis is my boyfriend’s favorite candy bar… I have to make these! 🙂
These sound amazing Jen! Super simple- yet incredibly indulgent and definitely would satisfy a sweet tooth…or two…
Wow – I had no idea these could be homemade! They look delicious!
I must make this! It’s one of mine and my husband’s favorite candy bar! YOurs look so great. I can’t wait to try it.
This is my 2nd favorite candy. Now if only you could make butterfingers!! Love these, nicely done!!
I LOVE how easy this recipe is! *saving*
This candy gave me awesome mom status for quite a while. : )
You are so talented! I wouldn’t have the patience to dip each of those little bites 🙂
I could not be trusted around these treats. They look too good to have just one, two or three….
I just made these homemade 3 Musketeers. My family said they tasted like the real thing, only a little richer. Mine were definitely not as pretty, they are so ugly 🙂
Oh yea Kristi, mine weren’t very pretty. The only pretty ones I could find are in the picture!
Wow! You MADE those? So impressed.
Made these with my grandson and they were great! My husband now won’t eat a store bought musketeers bar.

Isn’t that the good and bad thing about making stuff like this at home? Then you’ll never go back to store bought again!
Could you tell me how many cups is in a 8oz tub of whipped topping??

From Kraft’s website, an 8 oz. tub of cool whip yields 3 cups.
