How To Make Halloween Oreo Cupcakes
These Oreo cupcakes have three main steps to make them. Follow these steps in order, and it will take you no time to get these cupcakes on the table for a little treat and you can skip the trick.
First, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Carefully, separate the Oreos, and use the side that has no Oreo creme. Using a heat-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers until smooth. Dip half of the cookie into the chocolate.
Next, place the cookies onto the cookie sheet and sprinkle with some Halloween sprinkles.
Then, preheat the oven according to the box’s instructions. Put the liners in the muffin tin and set it aside.
Following the instructions on the box, add the ingredients. Mix all the ingredients as instructed.
Fill the cupcake liners ⅔ of the way full. Put in the oven and bake for 22 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake– it should come out clean. If the cupcakes are not done, check again every three minutes until they are done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely before frosting.
For the Oreo Frosting
First, remove the orange creme from the Oreos.
Using a mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and Oreo creme and mix on medium speed until combined and smooth.
Scoop some of the frosting into the piping bag and set it aside.
Decorate the Halloween Oreo Cupcakes
Using the orange frosting, scoop a small amount into the ice cream scooper and place it onto the top of the cupcake, and spread slightly into a thick disk.
Pour the Halloween sprinkles into a deep bowl.
Next, dip the top of the sprinkles into a deep bowl.
Dip the top of the cupcake frosting into the sprinkles.
Using the piping bag, pipe the frosting into the center. Carefully, place the decorated Oreo onto the side of the frosting. Sprinkle some more Halloween sprinkles on top
Enjoy!
