Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients on back of box

Pudding Layer:

  • 12.8 oz hot fudge
  • 3.4 oz chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1 3/4 cups milk

Topping:

  • 30 Oreos, crushed
  • 3.4 oz chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1 3/4 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake as directed on the box and bake. Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Poke Holes and Add Hot Fudge: Using the back of a spoon, poke holes into the cake evenly. Warm up the hot fudge in the microwave until it is thin enough to pour. Evenly pour hot fudge over the cake, allowing it to seep into the poked holes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  3. Make the Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with the milk. Before the pudding sets fully, pour it on top of the cooled cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator to allow it to chill for about 20 minutes.
  4. Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the last package of pudding mix with milk. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to set fully (about 10 minutes). Remove from the fridge and fold in the thawed Cool Whip. Mix in about 3/4 of your crushed Oreos and spread the pudding mixture on top of the cake evenly.
  5. Decorate and Serve: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top of the cake and serve or refrigerate until ready to serve!
