Oreo Cookies Cupcakes with Mint Frosting

In the last 3 days, I have been baking non stop! I started with a batch of these but they started to explode after 10 minutes in the oven! The entire batch was like a erupting volcanoes so I went for another batch. And guess what? Instead of another explosion, I have sinking cupcakes! Not sure what went wrong!!!!

So, in order not to get another heart attack and waste more ingredients, I dicided to give this a try which I got the recipe from here. As I don't like having the raisins in the cupcakes, I omitted them from the recipe. Since I have 2 unsuccessful batches earlier, I halfed the recipe which turned out quite fine.

To top it off, I made the pepper mint frosting which really compliment the cuppies! It has a little salt content so it taste quite appetising too! It was meant for the earlier chocolate cupcakes and since they did not turned out, I tried it on the 3rd batch which was the Oreo Cupcakes. They were absolutely divine....
