Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients needed on box)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping
  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed (for “dirt”)
  • Tombstone-shaped cookies (e.g., Milano or graham crackers)
  • Gummy worms, candy pumpkins (optional for decoration)

Instructions

  • Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake according to the package instructions in a 9x13-inch pan. Allow it to cool slightly.
  • Poke Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.
  • Make the Pudding: Whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thickened. Pour the pudding evenly over the cake, filling the holes.
  • Top with Whipped Topping: Spread whipped topping over the cake to cover the pudding layer.
  • Add the Dirt: Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the whipped topping to resemble "dirt."
  • Decorate: Place tombstone cookies standing upright into the cake, and add gummy worms or candy pumpkins around them to create a graveyard scene.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the pudding to set.

Notes

  • You can write "RIP" on the tombstone cookies using melted chocolate or icing for added spooky detail.
  • For extra creepiness, add green-tinted coconut flakes as grass.
