Prepare the Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Whisk for 2 minutes until smooth. Do not overmix.
Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them using a piping bag or knife. Top each cupcake with a mini Oreo.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For extra chocolatey flavor, add 1/4 cup of melted chocolate chips to the batter.
If you don't have mini Oreos, you can use regular Oreos, breaking them into smaller pieces.
Get creative with your frosting! Try adding a swirl of chocolate frosting or sprinkles for extra flair.
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
