This is the third time I have made this recipe and it is so amazingly yummy and at the same time, unbelievably easy to make! This oreo icebox cake, oreo casserole or oreo bomb cake... It's all the same thing. I like the bomb cake title because it is like a bomb going off when you realize how long you have been missing out on this awesomeness!
So I found the recipe on Pinterest (of course, right??) and pinned it like so many others. Pinterest is like the black hole of amazing ideas and new uses for things you see everyday where we basically tie a ribbon in a knot around our finger as a reminder to try something and then we move on to the next cool thing and forget about the last one. I know I am not the only one who does this. . . Am I? Ha ha no, I know there are more of you Pinaholics out there! So I pinned this tasty-looking photo with hopes of maybe one day getting around to it. The day eventually came when I needed to do something out of the norm for dessert. This was the chosen one, and I haven't looked back since!
You can find the original pin here. Please go check out her awesome tutorial on how to make this oreo creation and show her some love! Plus, her photos are sooo much prettier than my 1 pic.

For my casserole dish, I needed about 1 1/2 packages of oreos (your choice of the type, but I prefer the original variation). All you need to do is get a bowl of milk, 2 tubs of Cool Whip and some Hersheys chocolate syrup. Dunk the oreos in the bowl of milk for about 10-15 seconds. Then use the slightly saturated cookies to cover the bottom of the dish, and smooth a 1/2-inch layer of whipped cream over top.
Repeat this two more times giving you a total of 3 layers of cookies/whipped cream. Drizzle your chocolate syrup on top and cover with plastic wrap or something to keep it protected. Refrigerate the dish for at least 4-6 hours, but keep in mind overnight will give you the best results.
The whole process takes less than 15 minutes not including the refrigeration time and is delicious! Give it a shot and make sure to share it.
