mint chocolate oreo cupcakes

All Photos © Cupcaque 2012

One of my major obsessions is mint chocolate flavored things. Junior Mints, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, ehh... pretty much mint everything! So I decided to bake Mint Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes using the New Duncan Hines Frosting Creations. These Frosting Creations are AWESOME. You choose a "Starting Frosting" + a flavor packet to mix together ---> There are 12 flavors including: Bubble Gum, Caramel, Cherry Vanilla, Chocolate Almond, Chocolate Marshmallow, Cinnamon Roll, Cotton Candy, Mint Chocolate, Mocha, Orange Cream, Strawberry Shortcake, and White Chocolate Raspberry... {ahhh I want to try them all}! I decided to go with the Mint Chocolate flavor and it turned out ah-ma-zing. I paired the icing with Betty Crocker's Super Moist Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake mix + a Mint Chocolate Oreo at the base of the cupcake. To top it off I garnished the icing with a little leftover crushed up Oreo crumbs and these babies turned out SO decadent! Below are a few pictures of these amazing cupcakes. Seriously though, If you like Chocolate Mint things you will definitely LOVE these cupcakes!
