Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line cupcake pans with liners. You’ll need 24.
- Add butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a bowl. If you have one, you’ll want to use the paddle attachment for your mixer.
- Beat together on med-high until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each.
- Add vanilla extract and mix.
- Whisk together chocolate milk, sour cream, and water in a separate bowl.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add ¼ of the sifted flour mix with the mixer running on low.
- Once the flour has been mixed in, add ⅓ of the liquid mix.
- Once that’s been mixed in, add ¼ of the sifted flour. Repeat until all ingredients are in the bowl.
- Finish by scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl and mixing by hand.
- Scoop batter into each cupcake liner. You’ll want to fill it somewhere between ½ and ¾.
- Bake for 20 minutes and cool completely.
- Once cooled, use a cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake.
- Fill half with “slime” and the other half with rainbow sprinkles.
- Replace the top of each cupcake center and add frosting on top.
- Decorate as desired. I used candy eyeballs.
Frosting
- Place Oreos (with the creme center) in a food processor and pulse until they are chopped fine.
- Beat butter in a mixer until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and heavy cream and mix on med-low until combined.
- Mix on high and whip until fluffy.
- Add Oreos and combine by hand.
Slime Pudding
- Make according to package and add green dye or gel. Refrigerate.
