Scale
Cake
- 1 Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Water
- 6 Oreos, crushed
- 6 Chocolate Chip Cookies, crushed
- 1/4 cup M&M’s
Cake Filling
- 1 large Chocolate Pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
Cake Topping
- 1 tub Cool Whip (16 ounces)
- 6 Oreos, crumbled
- 6 Chocolate Chip Cookies, crumbled
- M&M’s (a couple of handfuls, sprinkled on top)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chocolate Cake Mix, Vegetable Oil, Eggs, and Water. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos, crushed Chocolate Chip Cookies, and M&M’s for extra texture and flavor. - Bake the Cake
Grease a 9×11-inch dish and pour the cake batter into it. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. - Prepare the Pudding and Thaw the Cool Whip
While the cake cools, prepare the pudding according to the package instructions using the 2 cups of milk. Set it aside. Place the Cool Whip on the counter to completely thaw. - Assemble the Cake
Once the cake is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over its surface. Pour the prepared pudding over the cake, ensuring the pudding seeps into the holes for a rich filling. - Add the Toppings
Open the Cool Whip, stir to ensure smoothness, and spread it evenly over the pudding layer. Then, sprinkle the crumbled Oreos, crumbled Chocolate Chip Cookies, and a handful of M&M’s over the Cool Whip. Add as many M&M’s as you like for extra color and crunch. - Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice into squares and enjoy!
