Even my Mother in Law loves this and she does not like chocolate cakes.

Made this for a dinner party of 6 and nothing we leftover - everyone went back for seconds!

I have made this more times than i can remember and is always very good. I have made it light by using apple sauce instead of oil in the cake and also used low fat cream cheese and non fat whip cream. Even with these changes the cake is still great and even more moist than made as the box directs. either way this cake will not disappoint.

It was so simple to make and it was such a hit at the surprise birthday lunch we had for one of my co-workers.

Most requested birthday cake! This is amazing!!

The first time I made this cake was for my son for his birthday almost 5 years ago. He just celebrated his 18th birthday and it is still his favorite! The whole family loves it!!!!!!!

This was the BEST dessert I have EVER made! I made it for my Bunko party last week and it was a HIT! I suggest making it 1-2 days ahead of time, and keep it fridgerated, it adheres better than serving it on the day you make it (it will fall apart)...will make many times over in the future!

This cake is AWESOME and more AWESOME. It is not that rich and was just a crowd pleaser on Super Bowl day, and everyone wanted seconds! Because of so much filling left over, I spread it on the top layer also. For variation to the chocolate glaze, I put 1/3 can of Duncan Hines cream cream frosting and blended for the icing on top. I also frosted the bottom layer outside of the cake. Just delicious... Thank you Kraft Foods for always bringing out the BEST OF RECIPES to all of us.

This is always a hit. I cut back the filling to 3/4 of the recipe (or use 3/4 and save the rest for another use)as it is just a little too much. I have a Wiliams-Sonoma sandwich cookie cake pan set and the result is an Oreo-looking cake that everyone loves.

I made this cake at Christmas time and instead of using regular oreos I substitued the holiday candycane oreos and it was a big hit.

This cake is AWESOME & it's so easy! I make the day before i need it! Everyone loves it!

My family loves this cake. They call it "THE cake" and ask for it all the time. Sometimes I just put chocolate icing on top if I don't have the semi-sweet chocolate. Wonderful!

It was very delicious I made it for my sister, my cousin and my boyfriend. They so loved it. It tastes even better when it is refrigerated over night.

I've made this cake tons of times and it's always perfect and scrumptious. This past weekend I put a twist to it. I used yellow cake mix, golden Oreo's and caramel sauce on top. It was oh so delicious, but not as tasty as the chocolate. I would definatly make it again especially for my nephew that doesn't like chocolate.

This is such a great cake! The only trouble I had was with the glaze, but I will definitely make this again! Ingredients are not expensive and it's pretty easy to make. Such a great taste! You MUST try this out! Happy baking.

This cake is a hit anywhere I take it. Easy to make, presentation is beautiful and the taste is out of this world

I made this cake twice in one week. The first for a Birthday & the second for special guests. The cakes were such a hit that even the guys made sure I sent the recipe to their wives. Later after dinner with our special guests they ask for another small piece to have with a bottle of Port Wine that they had been saving for a very special occasion, it was magnificient. Delicious!

I made this recipe as is except I added a few more oreo cookies to recipe. It was yummy. All my friends loved it and wanted me to make it for all of their birthdays.
