Cookies-N-Cream Cupcakes – 6 WW pts with frosting (from Crazy about Cupcakes) makes 24
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies, lightly crushed
Preheat over to 350F. Insert liners into a medium cupcake pan.
In a large bowl cream together the butter, milk, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix until integrated. Stir in sugar. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat for 30 seconds. Turn the mixer up to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg whites. Beat for 2 more minutes. Stir in the crushed cookies.
Fill the cupcake lines three-quarters full. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of cupcakes comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in the pan.
For frosting, we used this recipe and crushed up some Oreos and mixed them in as well.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
oh no! that’s too bad he had to guess… they look awesome and i bet they taste better too!
I will GLADLY be your taste tester for all these candy bars! Looks great!
these look amazing!!! I want to try all three kinds 🙂 How do you think these would hold up if I gave them out as gifts a day or two after making them? Do they have to be refrigerated?
I kind of want to go trick or treating at your house with these candies! I got a recipe from King Arthur Flour to make Twix bars that I’m dying to try out!
Laura – I don’t know if they have to be refrigerated. I kept mine in the freezer and we snacked on them for over a week.
Fun and Fearless – If you decide to make Twix – let me know cause I want in on that!
This is an entire blog about candy, chocolate bars, and sugary stuff? I think I have just fallen in love.
I didn’t read down far enough in the post, I got too excited when I realized what I had stumbled upon, but i have to go back to see if you gave the Snicker’s bar recipe!
I’m sooooo going trick-or-treating at your place! You are amazing with your baking skills, absolutely amazing.
Those look delicious!!!
These look great! Thank you for submitting these to the ATTYC event!
Snickers bars are definitely my favorite candy as well and I’m trying to stay away from them due to all the junk that’s in the ingredients list. I may have to make these some day (saving the recipe!).
Your husband is hilarious – mine would probably have the same reaction. 🙂
These look so yummy! 🙂 How many Kraft caramels did you use? Thanks.
As opposed to changing items to perform the chilly table with their benefit, a lot of
people are therefore stubborn or stupid that they simply won’t adjust.
