  1. I made this recipe (after seeing it printed in kraft foods magazine) because I am searching for a really good cream filled cupcake. They were easy, tasted good, and went fast at the picnic. As another reviewer mentioned when I used a 1/4 cup of batter on the bottom I ran out of batter to cover the filling. I have to admit that I thought these would taste a little more exciting. If you didn't know there was a filling with a Oreo in the middle and your eyes were closed you would guess it was just a basic chocolate cupcake. I started to top the cupcakes with the whipped cream however due to the heat (whipped topping melting all over) I had to scrape the whipped topping for a traditional frosting. My family really enjoyed this treat (I was a little less impressed). I will probably try making them again because they were tasty but I am still looking for a better filled cupcake.
     
  2. These were very good. But I recall the instructions I received as a child, when taking a test...read the directions entirely then start the test. I used the entire 1/4 cup of cake batter before putting in the cream cheese and cookie and then didn't have any to cover the cookie with. Oh well -- I pushed the cookie down into the batter and my daughters still loved them. Two daughters gave it a 5; my other daughter and I gave it a 4. I think the cream cheese filling could be a tad bit sweeter. But pretty tasty and easy; my favorite combination.
     
  3. This is a great dessert ! I used it from kraftfoods.com and it was great. Its rich, but it can be toned down with low fat cream cheese, and fat free cool whip. Great recipe !
     
  4. These were yummy and easy to make with the kids. They REALLY loved the mini oreo inside each cupcake. Would be great for a Bake Sale or Cookie Exchange. I will be making these again and again!
