For the Frosting
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup salted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, then prepare a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Add chocolate bar pieces and butter to a heat-safe mixing bowl and microwave at 15-second increments for 60 seconds, mixing between each until melted.
- Add sugars to melted chocolate and mix until dissolved.
- Add eggs, extract, and flour to the mixture and continue stirring until just combined. Fold in the Oreo cookie pieces.
- Fill cupcake liners equally using the batter.
- Bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Allow cupcakes to cool.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting.
- Add butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a stand mixer and beat until fluffy.
- Fold in Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, piped frosting onto each. Top with a mini Oreo and serve.
Notes
- Parchment paper liners can help prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the liners.
- Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your cupcakes at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
- To easily crush the Oreos into fine crumbs, put the cookies in a food processor or crush them in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin.
