Oreo Cookie & M&M Owl Cupcakes [Recipe]

These Owls made with Oreos are great. The recipe here is inconsequential, the brilliance comes from the decorating.  This is just hands down clever.  The trickiest thing is getting the Oreo’s to split with the cream filling solid on one side.  The author of the original recipe advices to microwave 5 cookies at a time for 3-5 seconds and then using a frosting spatula.  The good part is, if you don’t split the cookie right, you can just eat it and try again.  If you are having too much trouble, then call your 5 year old, I’m sure he or she can do it perfect every time.  Enjoy this!
