Birthday Cake Popcorn Recipe

I was browsing some baking blogs for some new, fun recipes to try to make (and Pin) and came across the Budding Baketress blog. This girl has tons of amazing recipes and they're all fairly simple without requiring ingredients you have to get from a specialty store like a lot of them do.

Aiden is currently obsessed with popcorn and would probably eat two full bags of it if I let him. When I saw her recipe for Birthday Cake Popcorn I knew he would love it (me too, of course). The only thing I didn't have readily available was white chocolate but a quick trip to the grocery store solved that problem in a hurry. This popcorn was SO GOOD! Don't judge me for my pictures - I'm not a photographer and I'm definitely not a food photographer. They were taken on my iPhone so as you can tell I'm not even trying to be one.
And now, the recipe...

Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

My younger sister goes to the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville which is about five or so hours from where we grew up. Every time she comes home our mom likes to cook a huge dinner for the family. I was bookmarking recipes from a few of my favorite cooking blogs and found a recipe for Cookies and Cream Cupcakes. Since I'm on a "diet" (I use that term loosely) I needed an excuse to make them and since my sister was coming back home in a few days I figured the family dinner was perfect!

I'm normally a vanilla cupcake, vanilla buttercream kind of girl but these looked AMAZING and my favorite milkshake is a Cookies & Cream milkshake so if it tasted anything like that in cupcake form then I am all for it. Separating one side of the cookie from the side with cream on it was probably the hardest part but it wasn't that hard. A lot of my oreos broke in the process and I literally had just enough left for decorating. After you separate the Oreos, you place them in the bottom of the pan, cream side up. Follow the directions, fill up the muffin tins and voila! Everyone loved them, even my grandma who doesn't like Oreos.
