Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the back of the box)
For the Pudding Layer:
30 Oreos, crushed
12.8 oz hot fudge
3.4 oz chocolate instant pudding mix
1 3/4 cups milk
For the Topping:
3.4 oz chocolate instant pudding mix
1 3/4 cups milk
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat the oven and prepare the chocolate cake as directed on the box. Bake in a 9x13 baking pan.
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Using the back of a spoon, poke holes evenly into the cake.
Warm up the hot fudge in the microwave until it is thin enough to pour.
Evenly pour the hot fudge over the cake, allowing it to seep into the poked holes.
Allow the cake to fully cool.
Prepare 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 into the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes.
Prepare the Topping:
In a medium bowl, combine the second package of pudding mix with the milk. Place the bowl into 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 the crushed Oreos and spread the pudding mixture evenly on top of the cake.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos
