Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) Chocolate Cake Mix
3.9 oz Instant Chocolate Pudding mix
1 cup Whole or 2% Milk
2 tbsp Powdered Sugar
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
25 Oreo Cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
Milano Cookies, as needed for tombstones
Halloween Candy (pumpkins or gummy worms), as needed
Instructions
Bake the chocolate cake according to the box instructions.
Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is uniform in color.
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies over the topping to create the appearance of dirt.
Insert Milano cookies vertically into the cake to serve as tombstones.
Decorate with additional Halloween-themed candies like gummy worms or pumpkins.
Notes
Ensure the cake is completely cool before adding the topping to prevent the pudding from sliding or melting. Store the cake in the refrigerator to keep the topping stable. This recipe is highly customizable; feel free to add more candy or decorations to match your party theme.
