Oreo cookies are one of my weaknesses. Especially double-stuffed Oreos. Oh my.....
Of course, when indulging in Oreo's a giant glass of milk nearby is pretty important. It's the only time I ever actually drink milk. When you've got a stack of Oreo's in your hand, they're just beggin' to be dunked.
If you're an Oreo fan, than you will absolutely
love this Oreo Buttercream! It is creamy, dreamy Oreo heaven! Just let me give you a little advice, and please practice some self control when you whip up this heavenly stuff. You will want to eat the entire bowl before those poor cupcakes even have a chance to be frosted!
