It's been a while... Well I'm back with Mini Oreo Cupcakes

Many times when people take something great and make a spinoff or a sequel, it ends up failing miserably. (Take note, people involved in the making of Star Wars: Episode XII)

But this. This is not the case. Today, we're going to take an Oreo and transform it into something magical. This is the stuff that makes your tastebuds happy.

And the frosting. Don't get me started on the frosting. It tastes like the center of an Oreo...and that's because it's actually made out of the center of an Oreo. Hungry yet? Good.
