• Use a 9×13-inch pan for even baking.
• Melt the butter fully so it mixes well with the cake mix.
• If the top browns too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
• Let the cake cool a bit so it sets and slices cleanly.
• For crisper cookie bits, crush Oreos by hand or pulse lightly in a bag.

You can change this cake by adding fillings or different cookies. Try adding a layer of chocolate chips or a spoon of peanut butter before baking. You can also swap some Oreos for a fruit version like a blueberry dump cake recipe if you want fruit and less chocolate.
