Oreo lovers, this one is for you! A triple layer chocolate cake, filled with a delicious butter cream frosting. Top it off with chocolate ganache, oreos and oreo candy bars! The candy bars were a new find in the store for us. If you can’t find them, just chop up some oreos very finely and sprinkle them along the bottom of your cake!
