Oreo Cupcakes AKA Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

Ever since the summer when I went to NYC to visit Chad, I have been CRAVING Oreo cupcakes. There is a cupcake truck that drives around the city and sells cupcakes (just like an ice cream truck). I tried an Oreo cupcake and mmmm, mmmm, mmmm it was DELICIOUS! So I found this recipe and decided it would be perfect to make for my birth class tonight. Chad and I split a cupcake last night to make sure they tasted good. They were great! I would call this more of a muffin. It was heavier than a cupcake, but still delic! I am so proud of myself. My first cupcake recipe that is not made from a box! ;) BTW everyone at our class love them too!

I got the recipe from Katie's Cucina. Click here to see the recipe! Try it out!! You'll love it!

Chocolate Covered Double Stuffed Oreo Lollipops!

Ok… so I had the BEST time making yummy treats for the family this year. All the snow we got in Charlottesville was perfect timing to work on my chocolate covered pretzels and Oreos. Yes- OREOS!! I got the idea of chocolate covered Oreos on - http://www.howdoesshe.com/2009/12/oreo-cookie-sucker-tutorial/. It was pretty easy. Just time consuming. I decoupaged a terra cotta pot with holiday scrapbook paper, stuck the Oreo chocolate lollipops in foam, and covered the foam with cotton balls to look like snow! It turned out looking amazing! Martha, watch out! I think these would be great favors or centerpieces at a child’s party too!
