Mint Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes

What You'll Need:

Chocolate Cupcakes-
1 box devils food cake mix
1 box chocolate instant pudding
1 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
24 mint oreos

Mint Oreo Icing-
2 sticks butter room temperture
1 cup vegetable shortening
6 cups confectioners sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon mint extract
green food coloring
12 mint oreos crushed
24 oreos for decoration

Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin pan with cupcake liners. Place one oreo in each liner.

In a large bowl combine cake mix, pudding powder (do not mix with water), vegetable oil, milk and eggs. Beat 1 to 2 minutes.

Cover oreos in cupcake liners with batter.

Bake at 350 for 18 mintues (depending on your oven). Toothpick test! Let cool before frosting.

To make frosting, beat butter and shortening untill creamy.

 Add confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time. Add milk as needed to keep frosting from getting dry.

Add mint extract and green food coloring. You want the color to be minty green so only add a few drops at a time. You can always add more. * Warning: mint extract is strong. You only need 1 teaspoon. Dont over pour!

In a sandwich bag (so you dont make a mess) crush oreo cookies. They need to be really fine otherwise they'll get stuck in your frosting gun/bag.

Frost your cupcakes. Add an oreo on top for garnish.

Enjoy!
