How to Make It

Preheat

Pour Batter

Pour the cake batter over the crushed Oreos in the baking dish. Ensure an even layer over the cookie base.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos and chocolate chips on top. This adds texture and extra yummyness.

Bake

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Monitor closely to avoid overbaking.
