I agree with gar1976 for the most part. Splicing the line will be much easier if you aren't tripping the breaker all the time. It sounds like your current outlet is not recessed into the wall but mounted on the wall. You could run conduit from this box to another outlet box attached to the wall. Most outlest are made so you can run additional outlets. For example if the outlet has 4 screws 2 will be used for the incoming power and the other 2 can be used to jump power to another outlet.
Very important when working with electricity....if you don't know what you are doing, have someone help you who does.
