Dark Chocolate Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

It is my co-worker's last day at work tomorrow before she leaves for a new job, and she always loves my baked treats. I decided to make her some dark chocolate cookies and cream cupcakes, but I didn't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. I wish I could say I made these from scratch, but I had a little help from Pillsbury. I used the dark chocolate cake mix and added 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreos to the cake mix (prepared according to package instructions). I topped it off with some vanilla frosting and some more crushed Oreos. Hope everyone had a great Monday!!

These look amazing!

Megan, did you know... back in the day.. Oreos were made with Lard? Yeah! And my Dad was a vegetarian so I called The company and raised a HUGE stink! I was a teenager! What a rebel I was! I also refused to eat tuna when I was 5 because they caught dolphins in net! (that's how my veggie career started! hahha)
