Oreo Cake

I know I've been using a lot of Oreo's lately but when they are in your pantry you feel the urge to gobble them up, so I decided to bake with them....again. I also have an abundance of cake mixes in the pantry right now, believe me when they offer buy one get one free I tend to go nuts. So I pulled out a chocolate cake mix, some chocolate chips, oreos and went to work. I think I am one of the few people who like using cake mixes, don't get me wrong a homemade chocolate cake recipe can be as sacred as anything, but sometimes I can't help using the shortcut that a cake mix offers.
