Jazzed-Up Cupcakes

I saw this idea online a couple of days ago, and today Julia and I tried it: cupcakes with an Oreo cookie crust.
Here's Julia, modeling a gorgeous Oreo cookie...
...and here she is, putting an Oreo in each cupcake liner.
Then we made the cake batter per the directions on the box, divvied up the batter among the 24 cupcake liners and baked the cupcakes per the directions on the box.
And here's our creation, all frosted and ready to eat. I have to admit, there really wasn't much of a difference in taste (there's so much sweetness going on with the cupcake and frosting), but the girls enjoyed having a unique dessert.
