Chocolate-Covered Oreo Cookie Cake

A lot of my recipes come from Kraft foods. Most of the recipes are really easy and good. I especially like desserts. Here is a good one I tried on Sunday.

1 pkg. devil's food chocolate cake mix

4 squares semi-sweet chocolate

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, spftened

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups thawed Cool Whip

12 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed

Heat oven to 350

Prepare cake batter and bake in 2 (9-inch) round pans as directed on package. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire racks' gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.

Microwave chocolate and butter in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 minutes. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Cool 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in Cool Whip and crush cookies. Stack cake layers on plate, spreading cream cheese mixture between layers. Spread top with chocolate glaze; let stand until firm.

Keep refrigerated.
