Double Chocolate Fudge Oreo Mocha Muffins

by | 134 Comments

As a kid, we always had Oreo cookies stashed in our cupboards.

They were such a fun snack to look forward to after a long, arduous day of monkeying around on the playground at recess.

Of course, with Oreo cookies comes one problem: how you eat it.

There wouldn’t be an age-old question if there wasn’t an issue, people.

So, how do you eat an Oreo?

Do you twist the cookies apart and eat one after the other? Scrape the frosting off with your teeth and then eat two nekkid cookies? Eat the entire thing whole? Dunk it in milk? There’s so many possibilities to eat it that you could probably eat an entire package of Oreos, eating each individual cookie a different way and you still would have other ways you could have eaten them.

Personally, I pick apart everything I eat. Pizza is eaten toppings and cheese first, sauce scraped off, and then the bottom + crust. Sushi is eaten rice first, then the insides. Sandwiches and Poptarts are eaten crust first, then the sandwich. Most other sandwiches are eaten top bread first, then toppings, then bottom bread, or top bread first, then an open-faced sandwich. I know, I know, I’m crazy. So my Oreos? Cookies are separated, frosting is scraped off, then I eat the two nekkid cookies.

It’s just how I roll, yo.

When I was younger, Oreo was just that… Oreo. And then slowly, they began launching new flavors and varieties. Golden Oreos (my personal favorite), peanut butter Oreos, Heads or Tails, neapolitan!!, mint, and more. (Side note: Duuuude. How awesome would it be to work at the Oreo factory?!) And for research purposes, of course, I have tried them all.

So when Oreo contacted me about trying some of their new flavors, I jumped at the chance. They sent me a pretty little box with two of their new flavors: Coconut Delight Fudge Cremes and Double Chocolate Fudge Cremes (best. mail day. ever).

Fudge Cremes are Oreo’s new line of cookies. They’re just like Oreos, except instead of another cookie creating the classic “sandwich”, there’s a layer of rich chocolate fudge. I’d tried the original kind and the Birthday Cake flavor, but I was STOKED to try the Double Chocolate Fudge and the Coconut Delight.

The coconut was crunchy yet creamy at the same time. I was scared the coconut flavor would be too subtle, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was creamy and strong, yet not too overpowering. I liked eating these cold from the freezer–so yummy!

The double chocolate was really fudgy (uh, that’s definitely not a bad thing!) My brother loved these ones because they almost have a chocolate frosting-like consistency in the middle. It’s rich and decadent–there’s no shortage of chocolate here!

Overall, while I loved them both, I really loved the coconut one. My brain was going crazy over recipes for each one and I immediately thought these Double Chocolate Fudge Cremes would be excellent in a muffin. Everyone loves chocolate muffins, right? And when you stuff crushed Double Chocolate Fudge Cremes in a regular ol’ chocolate muffin, your result will be an uber-decadent, deliciously dense muffin that delivers a killer chocolate punch.

To make them pop, I added some coffee and chocolate chips to the batch as well–the mocha really kicked it up another notch and the chocolate chips, while second to the scrumptious chunks of cookie, still added that additional creaminess into the muffin… like little chocolate pockets hiding beneath fluffy layers of chocolatey goodness.

Double Chocolate Fudge Oreo Mocha Muffins *adapted from Jocelyn’s Chocolate Mocha Muffins recipe 

1 stick butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup coffee
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 (heaping) cup cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 & 1/2 cups Oreo Double Chocolate Fudge Cremes, roughly chopped (I had mine previously frozen)
Cocoa & powdered sugar, for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with about 16 paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until combined. Add the egg, sour cream and vanilla and beat to incorporate.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa and flour.
4. Working alternately, gradually add the flour mix, then stream in part of the coffee + milk, beating slowly, until all combined. Do not over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chips & cookie pieces by hand.
5. Portion the batter evenly among muffin tins, a heaping 2/3 to 3/4 cup full. Bake for approx. 17-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Cool completely. In a sifter, combine equal parts cocoa and powdered sugar; sift over cooled muffins.
6. Store leftovers airtight, at room temperature, up to 2 days.

These muffins are the epitome of fudgy goodness! My family and coworkers adored them and I know you will, too!!

  1. I love the Golden Chocolate Cream Oreos! They are Delicious! I like to twist them open and eat the side with no chocolate filling first, then eat the chocolate filling and last the other cookie!

  7. Hayley, you out did yourself this time! That is one sinful looking muffin! I so desperately need these with my coffee today! It would be MY best mail day if you could send some me!

  9. I love the double stuffed oreos….but those coconut ones look amazing! Can’t wait to make these muffins 🙂

  10. Milk dunking all the way! I refuse to eat Oreos without milk. They’re most definitely my favorite store cookie. And I’m totally addicted to the golden cakesters. DELICIOUS.

  13. YUM!!! I so want to try those coconut ones. So far my fave is double stuffed dunked in milk. I love how soft they get and it’s the only way to get me to finish a glass of milk.

  15. Oh holy heck. I love these muffins! And I think you and I were separated at birth – I eat my food inside out too. Case in point: my burrito from Rudy’s last night. Inside first, then tortilla. Oreos, same way, cream, then cookie!

  20. I like the mint oreos best! Crumbled on top of ice cream is my favorite. Cookies ‘n cream ice cream is good, but MINT cookies ‘n cream ice cream is EXCELLENT.

    Reply

  23. My favorite oreos are the orignals! I usually eat them with a glass of ice cold milk…but I don’t dunk!

  26. I’ve always liked Double Stuff but I haven’t tried any of the new flavors. And I like to eat the cookie whole but I tear open the package as soon as I get them and then let them sit for a few days so the cookie part gets soft!

    Reply

  29. I’m so into the idea of those coconut ones!! I can just taste them now 🙂 and I love my regular Oreos dipped in my coffee! They taste amazing this way!

  30. I love the double stuffed oreos! As to how I eat an Oreo, I tend to twist it apart and eat the half that has no filling on it. Then I eat the half with the filling last.

    Reply

  40. Those muffins look so delicious!! My favorite Oreos are the Peanut Butter Creme Oreos. I usually eat the inside first then the cookie, but my favorite way to eat Oreos is to dunk them in milk.

    Reply

  47. My favorite kind of Oreo is DOUBLE STUFF! Ohhhh yeah! I eat my oreos first splitting them apart, eating the non-cream side, then eating the side with the cream on it. Om nom nom nom….

    Reply

  48. I actually never really liked the cookie part (crazy I know), so I like the double stuffed and would only eat one cookie with frosting and try to trade the other cookie for more frosting+cookie. 🙂

  52. my favorite….. the mint fudge cremes!! they are the best… taste just like a thin mint but with oreo filling! i eat oreos just the way they come(:

    Reply

  56. My favorite Oreos are definitely the Double Stuft. I love to just dunk them in a glass of milk until the cookie gets a little soggy. Yummo!

    Reply

  59. Okay, so number one: these muffins look amazing! Holy cow, breakfast muffins are the bomb, but with Oreos??? Yes, please. And now I’m dying to try those coconut ones–totally up my alley. I’ll eat any Oreo you give me, though you certainly can’t go wrong with Double Stuffed. =)

  64. I love the regular old oreo’s nothing added. I always separate them, lick off the icing and then eat the chocolate..

    Reply

  69. I’m not going to enter because even though I have a US address now, even if I did win, they’d probably arrive at my door in a crumbly, melted mess (which wouldn’t be too bad since I’d just throw in some cookies, heh!)

    But I couldn’t not read without leaving a post. Firstly, the muffins look amazing and so darn inviting. I love how you’ve roughly chopped them up so with each bite you find the secret goodness. Yum. Oh and in the UK, Oreo is just Oreo. We only have the standard ones and the double stuff ones are new here! Bet they’ve been out there for e-ons!

  84. I am in love with the Mint Oreos. I would put it inside my fave cookie dough recipe and its so heavenly. It is also my preferred base for chocolate icebox pie. 🙂

  91. These are my favorite chocolate muffins to date…I love that you jazzed them up with Oreos. Awesome way to make them better!! I like you on FB:-)

  103. And I like you on facebook and have a lot of fun answering your daily questions and reading the responses of others 🙂

  109. I would have to say the Mint Oreos were my favorite. There’s nothing better than mint and chocolate! But I cannot WAIT to try the new coconut ones! And I just pull the Oreos apart…eat the side that has the least cream stuck to it, and then the one with the most cream.

    Reply

  112. I will always, always love double stuf oreos. I like to twist off the top cookie and eat it, do the same with another, and have a double decker of creme filling. Yummo!

    Reply

  113. I love all the Oreo’s but the peanut butter are my down fall!
    I love to dunk Oreo’s in milk or pull them apart or eat them just like they come I mean is there really a wrong way to eat an Oreo as long as you eat it 🙂

    Reply

  117. I’m a classic Oreo girl=) I twist them & eat the creamy center then much on the chocolate cookie goodness!

    Reply

  121. I made ice cream cake this week with the cool mint Oreos, but I have to say that my favorites are still plain old Oreos. I dunk them in milk. I dunk about 2/3 of the cookie until it reaches the perfect softness. Yum. Now I wish I wasn’t out of Oreos.

    Reply

  130. I love regular Oreos, I twist, eat the filling and then both plain cookies halves. It’s the best way! Those double chocolate fudge Oreos look delish!

    Reply

  133. Wow, first off…I had to scroll WAAAAYYYY DOOOWWWNNN to get past all those comments!! :)) Did you know that I have a secret addiction to oreos in the morning? And, you guessed it: with my first cup of joe. Presently, I’m enthralled with the mint centers. Yup, dunked in hot coffee sends me! The favorites, though, are the TJ’s version with peppermint. Now, THAT would make an amazing cupcake! 😉
