Method
FOR THE CUPCAKES
- 1.Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and fill cups about 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool cupcakes completely before frosting
FOR THE BUTTERCREAM
- Cream the butter and shortening and vanilla in a large bowl, with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly between each addition.
- After all of the sugar is mixed in and mixture is thoroughly mixed, add the very cold milk, one tablespoon at a time, combining very well after each addition, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Fold in the Oreo cookie crumbs.
- Pipe the frosting onto cooled cupcakes- Use a large frosting tip, as the Oreo crumbs can clog smaller tips. Garnish with half an Oreo or a mini Oreo.
