Used a ready made choco frosting on top for quick substitute and was excellent.

This cake was absolutely fantastic. My cake didn't look exactly like the picture. My icing didn't set up so it drizzled down the sides of the cake. And I used 8" cake pans instead of 9" so I had too much cool whip between layers and so it oozed out the sides as well. My entire family from husband and grandchildren all loved it. Will definitely make it again!!!

Instead of semisweet chocolate used the bittersweet, of course we love bittersweet chocolate and we loved it.

My friend Em decided to make this cake for a lunch date at my house. She often enjoys, like myself, trying new reciepes. This one was a hit! My husband, 2 children, 2 friends, along with her family, loved this cake! It didn't even last through the day! If you love chocolate and cheescake, you're in for a treat. This cake is like having the two at once! However, it isn't overwhelming at all. You would think something like that would be far to rich. I've never tasted anything like it, especially the filling. When you eat a slice and bite into a big chunk of oreo cookie....uuummm. Snaps to the person who thought this one up! -TB Michigan

The glaze and the filling were two very distinct flavors that complimented each other. My family loved it! Super easy to make too!
