OREO is constantly unveiling new flavors & their latest one had us very curious: Filled Cupcake OREO. Naturally, it only made sense to eat the Filled Cupcake OREO inside well, a filled cupcake, of course! So we did just that: chocolate cupcakes filled with frosting, topped with chocolate ganache, swirled with more frosting, all while sitting on a Filled Cupcake OREO. It’s the ultimate filled cupcake recipe that’s surprisingly super easy to create.
Although you do have to wait a few minutes to let the cupcakes cool before dipping them in chocolate ganache & icing them, we do recommend serving these bad boys warm. Pop ’em in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, just until the ganache starts to get super shiny & it will be perfect. The flavors of our cupcake recipe mixed with the OREO is indescribable. Possibly, what we think, one of the best OREO flavors to date. Check out more of our favorite OREO recipes: here.
