Ingredients

Cupcakes

Frosting

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • teaspoon salt
  • 10 Halloween oreos ground fine
  • Drop of orange food coloring
  • *I used a combo of red and yellow

Instructions

  • In a bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and kosher salt.
  • Add in the butter (or shortening), milk, eggs and vanilla extract and mix on low speed to combine. (about 1 minute) You don’t want to over mix the batter. Set the batter aside.
  • Put 7 Halloween Oreos in the food processor and grind them up into coarse crumbs. Throw them into the batter and mix with spatula.
  • Line a cupcake pan with liners. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the batter into each cupcake
  • liner. The cupcakes should be filled about ⅔ of the way. Make sure you don’t overfill them!
  • Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then take the cupcakes out of the pan and transfer them to a cooling rack.
  • Cool completely before frosting
  • Now for frosting, beat the butter in a mixing bowl until well blended.
  • Add in the sugar ½ c at a time, and salt, until well blended.
  • *I sift the powdered sugar so there's no lumps.
  • Add the milk and vanilla and beat for an additional 3-5 minutes on high until smooth and creamy.
  • Drop orange food coloring in the frosting and fold until desired color.
  • *I used a combo of red and yellow, about 3 drops of red and 2 drops of yellow.
  • Fold in the ground Oreos until well incorporated.
  • Frost the cupcakes!
