Instructions
Making The Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl add the cake mix, water, oil and eggs. Mix well until combined and a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake the cake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean with no batter when inserted into the center.
- Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan completely.
- Once cool, poke holes in rows into the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon or a chopstick.
- Add the instant pudding and milk to a medium sized bowl. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and smooth, then add food coloring until the pudding is your desired color. Add the pudding onto the cake using a spatula or a butter knife to spread the pudding and push it into the holes.
- Top the entire cake with the whipped topping, using a knife to smooth it across the top.
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into crumbs, including the cream centers. See notes. Spread the cookie crumbs evenly over the top of the poke cake.
For The Decorations
- Place the chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals at half power until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Place the melted chocolate into a ziploc bag and snip off a tiny corner.
- Break the bottom off of each Milano cookie. Use the melted chocolate to write R.I.P., Boo or a date onto the Milano cookies to resemble tombstones.
- Decorate the top of the cake with the sprinkles, candy pumpkins, Halloween marshmallows and the tombstone cookies. Set the cake in the fridge to chill for at least two hours. Enjoy!
Notes
- We've used orange food coloring, but purple, lime green or red can all look like fun Halloween colors inside this cake. You want a color that will look bright and Halloween like when you slice into the cake.

- You can pipe a different color into each hole. Try splitting the pudding into two bowls and coloring them lime green, orange or purple. Then use two strong zip-top bags and spoon the pudding each into a bag. Close the bag, then snip the corner off the bag with scissors. Use the bag to squeeze the pudding into the holes.
- The chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos) can be crumbled into crumbs in the food processor. You can also place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them gently with a rolling pin or using a heavy canned food item like soup or tomatoes.
