Oreo Brownie Cupcakes
These Oreo Brownie Cupcakes are a Chocolate Lovers Dream! Oreo cookies in a brownie, who would’ve thought! Yummy!
I made these Oreo Brownie Cupcakes for a birthday party recently and they were a hit! You can use any brand of brownie mix you want but I prefer to use Ghirardelli Brownie Mixes.
Oreos are by far my favorite cookies to eat. I can eat a whole box in one sitting if my wife would let me. Combine my favorite cookie with chocolate brownies. Oh yes. If you are a chocolate lover, then you MUST try this recipe. Chocolate overload!
