My cupcakes were baked in a standard size 12 cup cupcake pan. While you could us a jumbo cupcake pan or mini cupcake pan, keep in mind that the baking times can vary.

1. My cupcakes were made with basic black and white Oreo cookies. You can however use another sandwich cookie or flavor of cookie.
2. For better ingredient blending your cream cheese should be softened to room temperature and you eggs should also be at room temperature.
3. Make the filling chocolaty by adding a small amount of unsweetened cocoa powder. You may need to add a small amount of extra dairy to balance it out.
4. To make the crust you will first need to crush the cookies. You can do this in a food processor, good blender, or by placing the cookies in a large zip top bag and rolling a rolling pin over the bag to crush the cookies .
