Want a bit of a surprise for your guests? How about these Oreo Surprise Chocolate Cupcakes…they are a little piece of Heaven!
There are times that I have to come up with a dessert for one reason or another. There’s the occasional birthday party, the “brighten someone’s day”, the “just for the hell of it” and because I need to serve a crowd reason for a cupcake…really you don’t need an excuse, but, when I make an excuse it makes me feel better! Then afterwards I end up regretting that I just ate that and go for a 3 mile walk to make me feel better again…
this whole new lifestyle change for me – it’s madness people. It’s madness!
Now that you know what I do after I eat a cupcake 😉 Let’s move on..shall we?
Mmmmk.
So I really don’t remember what the reason was behind this cupcake. I think it was simple a just for the hell of it kinda cupcake, but, as I recall I also had two things of Oreos staring at me saying….”Eat Me!” “Eat Me!”. I don’t particularly care for Oreo’s persay…I know some of you are saying that we can’t be friends, but, whatev. I’d rather drink my dessert than eat it, if you know what I mean!
There was a time I was potty training TT and the only way I found that I could bribe reward her to go was with this little circle cookie. I wasn’t hatin’ I was handing out Oreo’s left and right, I was a proud Momma and lovin’ the smile on her face. We would sing a potty dance…I’ll save you the terror of a video. It went a little somethin’ like this:
“Tinkle, Tinkle, in the potty, TT goes tinkle on the potty. Tinkle, tinkle, in the potty. TT goes tinkle on the potttttyyyyyy!”
Then she would get a big ‘ole smile on her face, wipe, wash hands and off to the kitchen we went! She then picked out a Oreo and all was right in the world.
Well TT had become potty trained and I stopped giving her the Oreo 😉 So I suddenly had a overwhelming amount of Oreos and I needed an excuse to use them up before they went stale. Can Oreo’s go stale?!?
So I had this idea to whip up a box chocolate cake mix, give it some love and pop in a surprise…that’s just what I did with this Oreo Surprise Chocolate Cupcake. I will tell you that the girls had no idea!
