Cupcakes for Everyone!
Hubby and I were visiting family while on our big Midwest road trip this summer and we spent a couple days with “the kids” (aka my younger siblings). My little sister loves to bake. She’s been baking for at least two years and she’s only 12. So when we hang out, we like to bake together. I had just gotten my new cupcake cookbook – Crazy About Cupcakes – and was eager to try another recipe. The first recipe I made from the book (Spiced cupcakes) only made 12 and we wanted about 3-4 dozen cupcakes.
We decided to pick 2 different recipes and double each one, thinking we’d end up with ~4 dozen cupcakes. Well, each of the 2 recipes we chose happened to make about 20 cupcakes so we ended up with around 80! Needless to say, we had cupcakes for everyone! We chose to make peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting and cookies-n-cream cupcakes!
We cheated and used store bought chocolate whipped icing for the peanut butter cupcakes and used this recipe to make the frosting for the cookies-n-cream cupcakes. We 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. 
Wow! THey turned out great! 🙂
Oh I love the idea of using condensed milk. I was trying to figure out how I could use these for holiday tins with the need for refrigeration, and this is the answer!
I have seen these pop up on a few blogs, and I am dying to make them!!
Neat way to make candies from cookie…they look divine.
Hi! I just found that you linked to me. These truffles are always a huge hit. I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed these… Especially from a fellow Bostonian!
lol. did you know that chocolate was banned in switzerland for many years. read this
I made batches and batches of these last year – I absolutely love the idea of the condensed milk, so they don’t have to be refrigerated. I’ll have to try that!
I can not wait to try these! I’m not so good at baking though. Can you give me a tip on how best to dip them in the chocolate? Should I put them on a spoon? Help!
How much 1 pack oreo?
24 oreo or 36 oreo?
Thank you.
