Absolutely amazing! I used cream cheese icing (cream cheese and icing sugar) and everyone LOVED them! They were moist and super tasty. Would definitely recommend!!

Sounded delicious but wasn't as good as I thought. The recipe called for too much of the filling and not enough of the topping. I ended up with 3 cupcakes that didn't get iced. And I wasn't floored when I tried one, I thought they would be deadly delicious! :(

I made this recipe for my son's birthday party. Not everybody likes chocolate so I made chocolate and french vanilla versions of this recipe! The vanilla was just as good. I alos emailed the recipe to a couple of friends. It was a huge hit!

These were quick and easy to make and were enjoyed by all. The peanut butter added the extra kick. Instead of the whipped topping I made a frosing to go on top.

thought this was a wonderful recipe! Made them with out the peanut butter filling as they were for a peanut free bake sale, buyt they were still a big hit, I love the way the oreo kind of dissolves and makes the whole thing taste like one big oreo :) fantastic idea!

This recipe was good, but I would suggest maybe trying a large oreo cookie rather than a mini one because once the cook is hot inside while baking it is very soft and you can't tell that it is an oreo. Tastes very good!
