Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- Chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- Gummy worms and Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch baking pan and bake as directed. Let the cake cool slightly.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar tool to poke holes all over the cake.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth. Pour the pudding over the cake, ensuring it fills all the holes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies on top to resemble dirt. Decorate with gummy worms and Halloween-themed sprinkles.
Notes
- Ensure even distribution of the holes for uniform pudding filling.
- Chill the cake for at least 2 hours or overnight for enhanced flavor and texture.
- Be creative with decorations using various candies and cookies.
- Add a tablespoon of instant coffee powder to enrich the chocolate flavor.
