Bake the Cake

5. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Make the Ganache (Optional)

2. Remove from the heat and immediately add the chocolate chips. Whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy.

2. If desired, crumble extra OREOs on top for a decorative touch.

• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, chopped chocolate bars, or cocoa nibs for less sweetness.
