Oreo Cookie Cup Cakes

I found this recipe at www.tasteandtellblog.com and they looked so good I had to make them.  I do have to say, I am not a big fan of cup cakes with frosting, but these made it to my recipe box.  It is fun having the oreo cookie inside the cup cake. 
makes about 24 cupcakes
Cupcakes
1 box white cake mix
1 stick of butter, melted
1 cup water
3 eggs
24 Oreos
                                                     
Filling
You can cut this recipe in half.  I didn't use all of it and had a lot left over. 
13 oz jar Marshmallow Creme
1 stick of salted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
                                                         
Frosting
cut the frosting down in half if you don't like a lot of frosting on your cup cakes, it makes a load of frosting.  I didn't use all mine. 
4 sticks salted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 cups powdered sugar 
15 Oreos, crushed
                                                             
To make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350F. Line muffin tins with liners. Place an Oreo in the bottom of each liner.
Combine the cake mix, butter, water and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed for one minute. Increase the speed to high and beat for one minute. Fill the liners 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.
To make the filling: Beat the Marshmallow Creme, butter, vanilla and heavy cream on medium until it is smooth. Add the powdered sugar slowly, then increase the speed and beat for a minute. Refrigerate the filling until ready to use.
To make the frosting: Beat the butter, cream and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Once the powdered sugar is mixed in, beat for 2 minutes on medium-high. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
To assemble: Once the cupcakes are cool, cut a small hole in the center of the cupcake. Fill the centers with the marshmallow filling. (You can do this by spooning it in or by using a pastry bag and piping it in.)
Generously frost or pipe the frosting on the cupcakes.
